i'm searching for some new 2 12" subs and since this seems to be the mecca for car audio enthusiasts, i was wondering what is a good deal out there...i'm looking to put about 400w RMS into each, and i dont wanna put huge holes in my wallet (the cheaper the better)...any ideas

thanks

 

Shivas. 2 of em to get you a 2 ohm load. Not a lot of room to work with? Seal them, they'll still get plenty loud. You can get em for $180 shipped here in Canada.

 

tantrum x's or octane r's from phoenix gold. great looking, led's in the dust cap, and very affordable. www.phoenixgold.com/speakers.html
madman mckays on the island is the closest to you.

Kicker COMP VR's 2003 model. You can find these online for about 170.00 Shipped. Very nice. I have em. Nice, loud, and deep!

 

Phoenix Gold Tantrums or JL Audio W0's are very well priced and both perform well.

If you have the space Shiva's are next to impossible to beat for the money.

 

I also recommend the Shivas ...

You can buy them from either:

www.genuinecanadianaudio.com
or
www.creativesound.ca

 

Adire Shiva if you have enough airspace for them as they like a bit.
If you want to spend less, try the '03 of;
Pioneer Premier
Kicker comp vr
Rockford Punch

Is this for your '76 Firebird?
How about eight 10's free-air? 4 across the back seat and 4 in the parcel shelf.

Can't say no to a Shiva. Adire makes great affordable subs.
JL W6V2 if you can afford it, or the W3V2.
I like Alumapro Alchemy 12's, but they're few and far between.
Uhh, Boston Acoustics? They make nice lines, but $$ pricey.
