Exclamation what sub is better?

I just purchased the Rockford Fosgate p8002 amp , and i have a 2000 civic si coupe, i wanted to know what sub is better. iam currently looking at the rockford fosgate p3's , Alpine 12typer, orion sub, or the kaption cl 12 series.

What do you guys think will give a better base, and a nice cleaner base that will make my car been herd from far awayyyyy.. lol


AND also how big our the speakers in the front doors for the civic 6x5 or 6x9?

800 watts RMS x 1 @ 2 ohms, so you need 2, 4 ohm that will handle 400 wrms each or 1, 2 ohm sub that will take all 800 wrms.

2 alpine type r's would work nice, or 1 type X.
2 rf p3's would also work nice. I've seen and heard both.

I've used pioneer or kicker myself, both have subs in the right power range for a 1 or 2 sub setup

The subs you provided as examples arent even in the same classes... P3's would never keep up with something like an Orion H2...

A Digital Designs DD3512 and the proper slot port box should shake some fillings loose and render the mirror pretty much useless.

yeah, I had a DD3512 hooked up to a RF 800.2 I was doing 141.7 without tuning. It is a good combo though.
