Subwoofer questions

I have a budget of about 150-200.00 to spend on new subs. My friend was supposed to sell me his RF 3002 amp and both 12in P2 subs for 250.00 but he backed out. I am not sure if i should go one or two 12's, maybe a diff size, etc. He wants 100.00 for the 3002 with the remote gain still and i will most liekly buy it unless the guru's here tell me otherwise.

My plan for a box is to build a wall along the back like many on here have done and screw the amp onto it. So im open to subwoofer suggestions. I have a kenwood KDC-4000 (think its a 4000) HU but i intend to keep it on account of my budget and my sirius tuning box.

ok it doesnt say, but im assuming that amp does 300w bridged.

with your budget, and that amp anyways, id pick up a sub like this:

unless you're looking to go bigger, like a single 12? cus it would be tough to get 2 12s at that price

the SS rl-i series subs get great feedback all the time. ill let 96blackmax chime in.. (i think it was him who had one)

they'll work relatively fine with 300 watts. it doesn't take that much get them going, although i would recommend amping them between 500-700.

Well, if you wanted to do it right, I'd recommend getting the AA FL and pairing it up with an Arc Audio Kar 900.1D. Talk to Don and you'll be right as rain. The Flatline is the most impressive SPL sub I have heard to date (I haven't heard a ton, mind you), and, when properly powered, is simply fearsome.

Good, don't waste money on a small upgrade, just get it done right the first time then you don't have to worry about anything.
