19Cutlass94 Posted August 4, 2005 Report Share Posted August 4, 2005 whater type of subs you like, its more personal perference than anything, least I think, plus depends on how much dough you've got to spend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you do the box yourself.....it should only cost arround $40-50....So lets guesstimate that thje sub you are looking for has to be arround the 200-250 mark. What size of subwoofer do you want? 10, 12 or 15? You can get a ed 16Kv.2 for $135 Its the small brother to the one I use and I love it! http://www.edesignaudio.com/product.php?cid=1&pid=5&cur=USD Or if you are looking for a nice quality single 12 I recommend the Image Dymanics 12" IDQ. http://www.cardomain.com/item/IDSIDQ12D4V2 Just remember that what ever sub you chose, when wired up it needs to be able to offer a 2 ohm impedance to get the most out of that amp. So this means for one sub you need a Dual 4 ohm voice coil configuration. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I found this box which should work perfectlly....when putting it inot the trunk....aim the subs facing up towards the sky, place the box into the trunk in that possition and then rotate the box so that the subs face the rear.....That was the only way I could get my dual 12 box in the trunk and it was the same as that one. http://www.icixsound.com/vb/icixnation/images/38_61.gif Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Puggsley456 Posted August 6, 2005 Report Share Posted August 6, 2005 Your amp does 300rms at 2 ohm. When those subs are wired together like this: It will be a perfec match for those two Kickers(rated at 150rms each).......And Kicker recommends a ported enclosure of 1.75cubic feet each.....But that design is 1.5cubic feet per sub. This will give you a bit more leeway, because when you decrease the box size you gain a little bit more in the power handling department.
