What to do/what to get

Get rid of that box for starters. That is one of the most abusive types of boxes known, a great way to destroy subs. Now that we hae that covered, you have a blank canvas to paint on. If you want lots of output and have the room go to a pair of 12" subs and have the proper slot port box built for the subs you purchase. Your amp is 500w rms into 4 ohm mono or 200w rms x 2 into 4 ohm. You need a pair of dvc4 ohm subs or a single 4 ohm sub if you want only 1. The box is the single most important part of the equation here, screw up on it and you might as well be eating yellow snow, pissing in the wind..... bass response is all about the box. If you cannot build one yourself, I will find someone to build one for you.
If i grab a pair of Alpine Type Es 12" in a non ported box bridged for 140 is that a good setup for me then?
Thank-you for the help as well.

It is only as good if they last.... the subs are used.... they could die next week for all you know and no recourse. Used subs are a crapshoot unless you know the person and they will give you a warranty on them. Why throw money away? Build your own box and go with new subs with warranty.

CEA 2006 rated, so it should do it's rated power as per specs unless it's defective.
