Hey whats up guys. Ive been roaming around the forums for a bit, you guys seem to be pretty nice with helping people out.
I'm thinking of getting the
RE Audio 12" 1000 Watt Dual 4 Ohm SE Series (are these good subs?) with a Kenwood KAC-9104D amp.
Is that a good amp to power this sub? I was interested in buying that amp, but cant decide what sub I should get. Im kinda new with this stuff...So if you can recommend any other sub or amp that is around this budget please dont hesitate too.
Thanks in advance
Kevin

Good sub, crap amp.

I'd recommend get a dual 2 ohm sub instead and an Audioque 1200d amp.

Ah damn i goofed on that one for some reason i was thinking SX...

The AQ 1200d would still work you can always cut the gain back. Or my next suggestion would be to go with the dual 4 ohm sub and an Alpine amp.

Thanks for all your help.
I would like to go with the 12" Re audio SEx. My budget overall for sub and amp is no more than $400 if possible. But if i can get any better sub and amp with that please let me know.
And where can i find the aq1200d? I've been looking for the price of that amp, but cant find it anywhere. Any other suggestions? Sorry im just getting into the audio industry haha. Thanks for your help and have a nice day.

Thats a great amp, especially for the money!

As for the box design, what kind of music do you generally listen to? are you looking for more loud or sound quality?

Yes I love this amp. I can't wait to see it powering the sub. I listen to every type of music from rap to dubstep. I would want to go for loudness i would say while getting nice clean bass too haha. So somewhere between the middle I would say if possible. I currently have a 2000 Gmc Sierra 2500 I would want to put the sub in, so im going to go get some measurements to go off of.
This is what it looks like though
