My friend is selling my his Rockford Fosgate 360.2 (530 actual peak) Amp. Another friend is giving me a box for 2 10" subs. I'm now shopping for a couple decent subs. I dont want to spend more then 150 for both. I've been looking at (in order of preference) Infinity, Alpine, and Rockford Fosgate.

I'm not looking to shake the neighborhood, I just want some nice crisp bass.

Any other brands to look into (JBL)?
What wattage should I look for (These will be bridged with amp running in 2ohm)?
Any good/bad comments about dual voice coils?

I got two RF 10" subs for less than $40 and coupled them to a 400-watt MA Audio amp in my brothers Ford F250 pickup and it sounds incredible.

 

I would definitely consider JL subs. they make great products. look for a 10w3 or 10w0 or something along those lines.

 

I will second the looking into JL subs. I had 2 12' Kicker Comp VR's, went to 1 JL 10W3 and never looked back. Incredible sound, very punchy and well rounded bass response.

 

"The box" has to match "the speakers" though. More than just the mounting holes, that is.

Your kinda going backwards.

 

The box isnt gonna be the key factor here if its a sealed box. Most sealed boxes are relatively small and should have the space for most 10s.

 

True, its not like the box is ported or anything,

If the box is too big he could throw in something to "occupy" internal volume....

Seems like theres quite a big difference in speaker box Vol reqs on the per speaker basis, especiallly dealing with so many variations in vehicle internal volume

 

I think I'm going to buy a diffrent box. The one I was given is a huge bandpass that's not in the best condition anyway. I just want a couple 10s that will run efficiently (not under powered) off this Amp.

 

building your own isnt difficult.... especially a sealed box.

 

I agree all the way there. its cheap and will only cost about 30 bucks for materials.
