hum...
price: <250CAN which is about 150US.
i want it loud.... but i want it to be able to hear the bass like the different notes.... i don't want just thumping....
rock most of the time.... sometimes i'll listen to some hip hop......
subs i don't like??.... umm.... only the sony.. cuz thatz the only one i've tried.... my buddies JL is pretty sweet.... i'm pretty much open to suggestions.... i'll probably be runnin 200 watts RMS or so... haven't decided which amp i wanna buy yet....

150 US total for 2, or 150 each, or are you looking for one sub.... also 200 rms can be a tad bit low...

I'm gonna get an "infinity Kappa perfect 10" at some point they're about $150usd here! they're awesome! and thier SPL rating is around 96db, thats really good. so you may not need such a powerful amp. I think a 10" might be a better choice for rock they're a little more tighter & responsive than 12"s. but not by a lot, they also carry a 12" kappa perfect.

about 150 for one sub.... i don't want to run that much power.... my speakers are 30 or 40RMS each.... so i don't want the bass to drown it out..... well.... i'm just saying 200watts for the sub.... but i'm not sure yet.... so how much power should my sub amp be around???.... 300rms ok?

hum... i guess i'm looking for a sub wid a good frequency range.

thats the beauty of the kappa perfects. they have a high spl rating. the higher, the more efficient the driver which means less power required to run it, i would say anything from 100-150rms is perfect for it. it doubt it will drown you out too. just turn up or down the gain if so..

You might want to consider the Infinity Kappa subs..not the perfects..these have a green cone and play lower. Thy work quite good under low power applications. You might also want to consider a Kicker Comp VR 12...another good sub for low power
