10 inch sub for under £200

[Rick]

Ive got an amp with about 175W RMS. At the moment its running a 12W0 JL Audio sub. Im after something thats going to be tighter and louder!! Ive been thinking about a W3 but I thought Id get you opinions first. What are Rockford Fosgate subs like at this price??

Any advice much appreciated.

Ive got a 12" W0 JL Sub.. very nice for what I need.. Id DEFINETLY recommend JL Subs.. so the W3 or maybe W6 is the next logical step?

We have been fitting some nice Polk subs in lots of cars recently and they sound absolulty amazing. I was so impressed I went and bought two of the Momo range. The subs i suggest are the GNX range

How much for these polk subs then?

 

[Colin_S]

The RRP is £130ea

 

[klmillard]

How much would a amp be that you would recomend using to power 2 of these polk subs then

 

[Colin_S]

I would recomend on a budget for you to get a the new Kenwood class D amp (which thr RRP is £249.99 howeven can be done for £200) and 2 of the Polk dual 4 ohm subs so the amp will run at 1 ohm. Or wait for the Phoenix Gold Octane R range to come out and get the R5.0-1 which will be £349

Nice one, Ill have to buy it tonight. Although I might change my mind and get a new Head Unit instead. Decisions, decisions!!

hehe, You already have a decent sub mate! If your HU isnt that great, change that..

My system is only small - maybe going to add some components up front to go with my coxials, (and possibly some multimedia stuff) but I reckon my JL is perfect! Very very nice sound - and it goes loud enough for me!

Loadsa Decisions! hehe.

I probably will just change my HU, cos its a pretty sh*t cheapo Sony one that Ive had for over a year. Does anyone know if say a mid range Pioneer one (around £280 cant remember the exact model!) will make a massive difference to sound quality. At the moment the bass has a tendency to sound a bit uncontrolled hence the reason why I was going to go for a 10 instead.
