Have you considered upgrading to the thunder 8000's? I have a single 12" Thunder 8000 in about a 1.25^3 enclosure with 400 RMS watts coming out of an orion cobalt. It's in my sister's Civic and it absolutely pounds.
I guess more power to a more able sub is my answer to your question.

I Am on a budget or about 100$ and not looking to upgrade my amp or my subs right now. There in a 96 hyundai Elantra. I was told my box should be tuned to about 41hz and to upgrade my speaker wire but what else. I want spl not sq so i dont care how it sounds along as its not too sloppy

I would upgrade to 12 or 14 guage speaker wire (although that may not make a noticable difference), definately change the tuning on the box. What I would do is make a box with a changeable port. Get access to a meter and just swap out different length ports till you find the loudest one. It would be time consuming but could be the cheapest change with a big result.

Well heres the thing. I dont plan on going to every sound off around this year. But to the ones i go to i want to be able to compete ya know. Right now i'd guestimate that im hiting high 130's but to compete with two tens around here low to mid 140's is where most people are winning. So I want something that will be loud to the ear and hold its own in a DB drag.
