I tell you something to look into is maybe 2 bravox exs 12's. I have one in my truck, and I just built a test box I got off of winisd, 3 cu ft. tuned to 26. It is very loud for only 500 watts, and the thing is, that is an sq box. If you tuned it higher it would get much louder. I recommend finding a bravox guy near you, and see if you can hear one maybe. Two of those tuned to like 35 would get loud. Just IMO these other guys know theirs sh*t, listen to what they say before me.

ok, so i have been looking at one sub, a 12" that could get pretty loud. For something cheaper... i have found the Eclipse sw9000 series. If i wanted to in the future i could always get another 12 if i wanted to. But would that be a good choice of a subwoofer??

the 9000 series, those are the titanium series right? If so they would be a great choice. I'm sure an RE SX SE, Adire Brahma, Tempest, Shiva, those would be some subs to look into also. I dunno how much you're lookin to spend tho.

The 9000 is the titanium and the 15 i was first looking at getting was 330. That is prolly the max i wanna spend, or 350.

Those Eclipse's are pretty good.
You could also look into Boston G2's (10's and 12's, they don't make 15's to my knowledge). A pair of those would run you just under $350.

It would kick the pants off the Kickers in terms of SQ. SPL is capable of being higher too.
I've never heard RE SE's, one day...

Well For 350, You could go with two 12" SE's. Or 1 maybe two 15" SE's. Are you looking for a brand new sub or can it be used? Look also into Diamond audio TDX's, should be able to get those under 350. You might be able to get an older style XXX for 350. But I dunno if you have the power for that?
