Default Sugggestions on 2 10" subs that aren't gonna break my wallet?

I like the deep/low bass. I wanted 2 tens under the sway bar. I have a 2ohm amp right now in my old car that is power two kicker cvr12's...I'd like to use the same amp. The amp is 1600-18000 watt amp it's a cadance zrs class c.....I'm loooking for 2 10's...what do you guys suggest?


Do the subs have to be 2ohms like the amp is?



I know nothing about this stuff so if you guys could reccomend me something for someone not looking to spend a crazy amount that would be greatly appreciated

Sealed, small box? I run Polk MM's.

2 ohms stereo or mono on your amp? Lots of possibilities... this should help: http://www.rockfordfosgate.com/rftec...er_wizard.asp?

Yes if you have a 2 ohm amp you must have 2 ohm subs also to match the amp. Jls would be my first pick for best quality/bass, but if you want to go cheaper than that mtx subs are good subs for the money.

If you have a Mono amp , you need to buy either (2) 4 Ohm single voice coil subs , wire them in parallel and your amp will see a 2 ohm load . Or you could buy (2) 2 ohm dual voice coil subs , wire the coils in series (4 ohm) then the subs in parallel and your amp see's a 2 ohm load .

WOW. how much would you charge for one? anywhere that sells something similar online? i don't need it fancy just like where it fits, and i only wanted 1 12" sub as 1 10" wouldn't be enough, and 2 10's might be more money that 1 12"...plus i already have 2 12" kicker CVR12's (400rms) and if one ever blew or got stolen i'd have a back up...is it ported/
