W3V3, MTX5500, JBL GTIs, Kicker VRs, or any other of the thousands of mid level subs out there. Take a drive to your local shop and listen, then pick out the sound you like. I'm partial to JLs, but your needs may be better suited by a single 12 MTX slot port, or 2 sealed Rockfords, or 15 8 inch Diamonds.

alright well ive heard a fair share of subs but never heard ne in a neon. I guess my question now becomes, has anyone heard subs in neons before??? ive always had mine in a sedan and all my friends have suvs so i dont know what it will sound like with the seats down.

your stock 83A alt being able to power an 800wRMS amp.

i had slight dimming with my USA 4300x....when i added my DLS A6, which brought the wattage to about 1200wRMS, my car just about stalled at red lights.

you will be killing batteries and eventually stock alts trying to do that on such a small stock alt.

my stock alt. was an 85A.:-(

i have been on here since Aug-05.

i used to hang out at my local car audio shop a LOT during the week...when i wasn't in school and not working...i was there. lol

i talked about subs all day and got to hear a lot of interesting setups.

then he closed the shop cuz the business was no longer thriving. and i cut out on Ecoustics for like 6 months to be with my then new GF:-) <--my life story

ahh i see. yeah i dont have a local audio shop where i can just hang out at. I wish tho. but honestly back to the topic. what would be best. single 12" Diamond D3 ported, tuned to like 32Hz, or a 10" ^^^^^^^^^^

thanx for the help thus far.

10" or 12" D3 is what you are asking??

i would def go with the 12".

more cone area can only improve your SPL.
32hz should sound gooood.

IF you have ample port volume, which is easier to get with aeros...you won't have to worry about it.:-)

i would say keep it above 5 sq.in. of port per cube.....<---shot in the dark...but i don't know why you would need any less. lol
