Alright...if u dont remember me im the guy that was runnin two Jensen 12's who u all thought i was crazy...Well i hit a up sound off out here and the things hit 138.5, not bad for Jensen eh?. Anyways they were in the back of my Hatchback Dodge Shadow in a 3 cubic foot ported box so when i bought my new car and went to put the box in, it wouldnt fit. So heres the position im in. Build a new smaller box and put the jensens in my new car, or buy a new set of subs. Im lookin at 10's rite now.
As u can tell wit the wal mart subs, i am pretty cheap so im not lookin to spend more than 250 tax inc. for the 2 subs. So as of right now heres what im lookin it, u guys tell me whats best. Oh and im runnin a 600 watt Kenwood Amp as well.

10" Sony Xplod $94.99 each (ya i know its sony but there in my price range)
10" Kenwood Wave $64.99 each
10" Alpine type e (i can get two of these for $240 before tax)
10" MTX not sure of the model number $129.99 at Future Shop
10" Bolt Lighting audio (not a great sub but in my price range)


So thats what iv been eyeing so far...tell me what my best bet would be. P.S. im not looking to go with those $99.99 Pioneers from future shop

You should hit up the second hand scene! I managed to get 2 12" DVC RF HE2 for $350 with a box that I was able to sell for $75

So I really paid $275 for 2 12" subs that are very tight and in excellent shape. Buddy who had them before me had about 25% of the power these subs can take. The first time I hoocked them up to my amp (kicker600.4) they hit like they were brand new! [img]smile.gif[/img] it was and still is awesome!

See if you have a Rockford Fosgate dealer near by and you could most likely get 2 HE 10" Subs for around 130 + Tax each. Or maybe DWE 106 Dragster 10" which would compare to rockford on price but would give yuo a bit more headroom and better sound quality.

peace!!!

I picked up a pair of JL Audio 10W0-4s for $75 including tax.

Can you fit a single 15" sub in there ? That might work out better ...

I could fit two 15's in my trunk right now but my amp wont power them. I am also very interested in a Kicker Comp Vr or a 10" Concept. I only wish i had the money for some Memphis gear.

If we're talking cheap subs...

Memphis Power Ref's are very nice for the money
http://www.memphiscaraudio.com/P16_PR_Subw.htm

I bought an Infinity Reference 1230w off a dealer on eBay.ca for $70cdn including tax and shipping (It was rated 4/5 stars on condition or "great" condition, and it's nearly perfect). It's a very nice unit.
Click here for the search
You can probably find a few 1030w's as well if you search for it

Interfire subs are pretty good priced too at genuinecanadianaudio (site is broken right now)


Other than that the ones you listed I find the Sony subs actually have pretty decent build quality and don't sound half bad...and I've heard good and bad things about the MTX 6000's
