Thanks to everyone for your feedback in my "Need Advice" thread...

I am going to get the two Soundstream Picasso amps, now I need some 10"s...i went to Best Buy today....(I know, I know, but there are no shops near my work) and listened to the new Rockford's, I can't remember the model, but they have the silver dust cap...they sounded pretty good...the amps will be putting about 200x1 @4 ohms to the subs...I am going to use 2 boxes, one on each side of my trunk...

The car is a 2000 Sunfire GT...what would you guys suggest....for around $100cdn/sub

The rest of the system is in my signature!

All opinions welcome :)

P.S. I can get two of these for free:

Are they worth it? They are from my best friend's truck....they have been taken care of, sound nice in his installs (Mustang, S10 Extreme) but, I don't know if I want something a little newer

Any suggestions??

Depends on what you have access to ...

Maybe a pair of Alpine Type-Ss ... ?

Andrew 07-02-2003 12:26 PM

Alpine's are nice...

These are the brands my dealer carries:

Audiobahn
Eclipse
Sony
Pioneer
Phoenix Gold
Orion
Alpine

And, I can get those MTX's from my friend..

Man, this is a confusing hobby!!.....and I have to do all this becuase some kid thought he was special and ripped everything out of my ride...little punk! :D

The pioneer 10" subs are a very good buy for the price, and i have seen some people on here say they can get them real cheap...around $60 [img]graemlins/dunno.gif[/img]

I've seen some very nice results from Phoenix Gold subs, Alpine subs seem to be ok, Pioneer are also good for the money..

Thanks guys!

I think I am going to grab some Pioneer 10's...I have always liked Pioneer.

Now my next question....what is the trend these days...ported or sealed??

Ported all the way ;)

If you like red, Sony's new 12" red subs are a good buy. They retail under $100 a piece from what I see in stores and appear to perform well for what you pay for. They won't hurt your wallet much if one blows on you, either.
