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

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??

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.
