New member Username: MrmidsPost Number: 1 Registered: Jul-10 | Looking to get a new 10" sub, as my Fosgate punch has recently died due to old age. I'm looking in Kicker, Pioneer, and Xplod subs, but I'm not sure which one would be better, although I have an all Pioneer system currently, minus the subwoofer. I've heard good and bad things about all three so any advice would be greatly appreciated! |

I wouldnt buy from these 3 but thats just me. You can get an alpine 10" type r for around your budget off of ebay. These are greeat well built subs and last forever. Sony subs are just garbage. Do not buy. Im sure your local bestbuy or walmart tech nerd who dosn't know sh.it about car audio will try and convince you otherwise. Dont be fooled by mainlined store brands that are over marketed , overpriced and under quality. |

Silver Member Username: JbpittPittsburgh, Pa. Usa Post Number: 590 Registered: Jul-09 | X2 on the Alpine type r. Though you might wanna look at upgrading that amp too. |
|
New member Username: MrmidsPost Number: 4 Registered: Jul-10 | Alright, so Alpine is going to be my best bet then I suppose. I was only looking at Kicker because Crutchfield is having a buy one get one free sale, so if I could get a buddy of mine to buy the other one I'd get a free sub. What kind of amp should I be looking to power that bad boy? It requires a lot of power for a 10" subwoofer. |

Silver Member Username: RosrockMichigan Post Number: 497 Registered: Mar-09 | if ur gonna get 1 than u may want a 12".. as itll move more air + it only be like 5-10 more bucks on ebay. |

Silver Member Username: Gcs8Atlanta, Ga Post Number: 999 Registered: Sep-09 | the kicker is bogo for a reason. |

|
New member Username: MrmidsPost Number: 5 Registered: Jul-10 | So what kind of amp am I looking at then? |

New member Username: MrmidsPost Number: 6 Registered: Jul-10 | How about this, it's only 500 Watts at 2 ohms, but it's a pretty good price. http://outlet.crutchfield.com/p_613KAC8104/Kenwood-KAC-8104D.html?cc=01&tp=35834 |

Silver Member Username: JbpittPittsburgh, Pa. Usa Post Number: 633 Registered: Jul-09 | Kenwood amps arent very good,but it is better than dual. Id look into maybe an alpine http://www.onlinecarstereo.com/CarAudio/p_19251_Alpine_MRP-M500.aspx or kicker http://www.onlinecarstereo.com/CarAudio/p_19219_Kicker_08ZX5001.aspx |
