those subs have no low bass (even for 10's) need a hige box to have any sort of sq to them whatsoever, and they cant take enough power to get loud.

do you like the way they sound? who cares what we think then!

thanks for the advice guys, i have heard them before and they seem to be loud but they were hooked up to a fat amp.. so maybe i should get a bigger amp... like a 1600 watt amp

what price range are we looking at? do you care about the sound quality just as much as how loud it is? or do you just want it to be felt a black away?

Import...hmm.. a pair of 10's....why not 12's..you can get a pair of 12" Audiomobile EVO's for like $350 shipped. and a JBL 1200.1 to power them..that would sound great and bump like mad.....

i dont think evos can take 600 at 12 V from what Ive heard. but it will certainly give you a ton of headroom ot make sure your signal is VERY clean. mowhawk and i both know these are very clean subs, but sure as hell not worth the $200 price tag they were at the time I knew ppl buying them. now they are a bit cheaper.

you can get them direct from audiomobile http://www.audiomobileinc.com Which is nice, there is no markup on these subs, also you get a 30 day trial, you dont like them, you ship back for a full refund, AND you get a FULL factory warrantee. cant beat that with a stick.....
