That is a very good assumption. Don't worry to much about the FR as it is very decieiving. You will not notice a big difference between a sub that can play to 30 hz and one that can play down to 20hz.

I'm gonna have to go with the 8 and amp it fellas. I was considering a 10 or 12 based on what everyone had said but honestly the jump to a 10 ads another 60 bucks total onto the price. Which I realize may not seem like much but at this point since my goal is to be clearer than stock and not necessarily louder I think an 8 might fit the bill. I am, however, buying an amp that will power a 10 or 12 down the road if I decide to go that route and the 8 can go in my wifes car. So either way I dont see how I can lose and if the 8 is adaquate for me then I saved myself some money.
It looks like ultimate electronics will be handling my install and I'm also going to buy the deck from them.

The fosgate can hit the 30's and can hit the 500s but its optimal range is 40 to 250 where as kicker lists their actual min and max. Hopefully that made sense, but thats what I've gathered from reading the last few days.

so I figured I can try this for a while and see what happens. The deck will be the Pioneer 5800.

I don't know about that..... you're going to want bass, and in an 8 to get alot of bass you want a good quality product, alumapro will do the job and blow away the RF's etc. Maybe they sound unnatural but they will produce an s-load of bass.

And yes nismo I want some bass and I want a clear tight sound, I was originally leaning towards the alumapro 8 because I figured it could hit harder than the P2 was I right in this?
edit: the reason I went back to the fosgate is everyone and their dog was upgrading me further and further and further. At one point I had 1200 dollars in equipment which is NOT gonna happen. So I went back to basics to achieve better sound than factory. I could still do the Alumapro sub if its actually gonna be better for my application.

That enclosure would probably do nice but I don't know what the ported specs are on the alumapro. Oh and u want one built from 3/4 - 1" MDF not 5/8. No sense in getting good equipment then ruining it with a shoddy box.
