Check out JL Audio subs ... W0'S or W3's usually require less airspace ... JL makes killer amps as well.

If you want a system that beats the block, put two JL 12" w7 and about 2000 watts that should be sufficient(sp)

That's something that you will have to measure, and look at the particular sub specs. Take it to yout local JL Audio dealer and have them take a look ... they can take you in the right direction.

Image Dynamics IDQ's V3's 12". don't waste you money on JL's there over rated and way to expensive for what you get.

go to www.sounddomain.com and get some ID's!!!

trust me I got 5 10's in my truck with 2400 watts and OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

RT MAN!

Can you recommend a 5 channel amp that is comparable and less expensive than the JL Audio 5.5? Also, I have to disagree about JL subs ... although they have gone up in price in the last few years (popularity), they are still one of the best bang-for-buck subs out there.

RT i just looked at that website. Which ones the 2 or 4 OHMS? And what amp. I have it wired and everything right now. Just need to purchase some subs and an amp that will hit as hard as possible.
