What sub, with SQ in mind.

Hey, I've been looking around, and I really just want a sub to come give my setup that extra punch.

I currently have Rockford Fosgate 6X9s in the rear, and Alpine Type S 6½s up front connected to a Punch P4004 4 channel amp.

So far, I've narrowed it down to a Boston Accoustics G2, Cerwin Vega VMX, and an Alpine Type R. 10" models. They're similarly priced, so that's not really an issue.

I'll be going with a sealed enclosure. So, opinions as far as SQ goes ?

Yup, Eclipse aluminum, a 1.25 cu.ft. sealed box will yield better low end response, multi tone bass response and can play to a more than respectable volume level. It is available in either a single 4 ohm or dual 4 ohm version. After that I would more than likely side with the Boston sub, then the Alpine.

DLS any day of the week. I have one for sale, an SP12, killer sub, gets loud and plays lower than you'll ever need. PM me if you're interested.

Since all the subs he listed are in the $300 range i dont think he's talking about W7s, IDMAXs, xxxs and titaniums which can cost upwards of $1000

I've only had experience with type rs myself and they are pretty nice, but they are real sensitive to distortion. If u dont watch your gains they'll pop on you and leave your car stinking for weeks.

ya i know, thats why i wrote "upwards". But still i think all the subs mentioned are a bit over his budget. You can try to pick up a used idmax for $450 someone is selling one right now in classifieds.

IDmax is a really really nice sub though i love it.
