First car need a bumpin sub

I think it will give you decent bass. Depends on your personal tastes. Some people can't get enough bass, some people like it low and loud, some like it tight and punchy. The right box can give you a little bit of everything, and do it pretty well. I prefer sealed. I have a 10" Alpine TypeR on 600W, and it does the trick. Before that was a 10" Alpine TypeS in a band-pass... piece of garbage enclosure that was. Low and loud - I thought it was cool when I was young and foolish. lol
A box built to spec will definitely improve things for you.
Build two enclosures, if you can. One sealed, and one ported. Try them both out, and see which one you like best.
I can try and help you design boxes if you'd like. Though Jalat is much better than I am.

that MTX is way better then sony, if you were in Hamilton, i would demo how good they are for the price you pay for em, futureshop also has a deal right now that sub in a ported box for 100 i think, but a custom box would be way better

ah man i wish you were near barrie umm okay well i'll take that into consideration cause for only 20 bucks more if it makes that much of a differnce that would be sweet, would the same amp that was recomended work for this sub aswell?

Yeah, for $20 more I'd opt for the MTX at Futureshop. And yes, that Pioneer GM-5400T amp will work really well. You could probably find one for $200. Might take some looking around though. But its worth a shot.
A properly built and tuned ported enclosure can help to make a subwoofer sound lower and louder. It can also sound like if its not done right. There are a couple of guys who really know their stuff. If you can build one in woodshop class, then you're set.
Keep doing some research. I'm off to work right now, but I'll check your progress when I get home.
Good luck.
You should probably whip by Futureshop soon, that sale is over tomorrow.

Um, no, the MTX is bottom of the barrel and is in line with the bottom barrel Sony. As the OP has a 12" ported box, go with a 12" sub to simplify things. I have a deal on the last years model amp that was recommended earlier to you and I know I can find a cd player for you as well. Interested, add me to msn and we can talk.

Best bet to maximize your budget right now is to use what you have and be happy with it. Is it going to slam your head with bass, no. Is it going to give you what you are hoping for, yes. The amp I have I know I can hit $200 on, sold one yesterday for that actually and I have one left.
