I upgraded my system on an impulse yesterday. I added a very nice JVC head unit, Rockford Punch 3.5" tweeters (pain in the ass to get in!), and Infinity R-type door and 6x9 speakers. -- and since my JL 12in sub finally blew after 8 years, I hooked my 250 watt Kenwood amp up to my two Rockford 8's.
Sounds great, but now I need the bass. Any suggestions on a nice Sub and Amp. I think I want to stick with just one 12in and use my old box.
Just in case anyone doesnt know, Rockford Fosgate is now a Wal-Mart brand. Meaning it is built very cheap and is not very durable. If you want Rockford, I suggest looking for a Punch Power HX2 12" subwoofer. I had two of these in my car and it hit HARD!

Not a fan of Rockford. I push Alpine R-types heavily, but Infinity Kappa Perfects are crazy, and SoundStream also pump.

Mod List. Um WAY too many to fit on here. But the engine can handle about 800HP
I went ahead and got the JVC head, Rockford Punch 4in tweeters, Alpine R-Types 6" door speakers, Alpine R-type 6x9's, a Rockford Punch P3 12" sub powered by a 600W Alpine mono amp. I also have my 250W Kenwood amp pushing my two Rockford 8's.
Image Dynamics has about the best sub goin right now. I've heard one beside a JL w7 and I have to say i might acually like the ID better. Specifically an ID vMAX 12 in sub, they make all sizes. The design has been the same for over 5 years and these things rock. They are 1000w rms but rated for 2000w rms peak so go nuts. I have one hooked up to a 500w RF Power D-Class amp (0nly half it's rated power) and it sounds great. I've also hooked it up to a RF 100 w old school amp and it sounds great with low power too. You can find em for under 400 canadian dollars. I personally run a JL w6 v2 and I love that.
As for amps, MTX, Pheonix Gold, RF all make solid amps as resonable prices. If you have the money then get a JL amp (voltage regulated and all that) or an orion.
