What sub/amp combo you use? I just put in the kee audio speakers with a Alpine head unit. Sounds much better then stock. I want to put in a 10'' and amp. What do you guys use and how do you like it?

Buddy of mine runs Alpine Type r subs with US amps,they sound really good. The MB Quart Discus amps seem to be a popular choice as are the Image Dynamics subs.

I have a Cadence ZRS-8000 2000w RMS monoblock mated to two Cadence ZRS 12" 1000w RMS subs in a custom fit box that replaced the rear seat. Can be anything from simply loud to don't-do-this-unless-a-few-feet-away. Of course, I sacrificed the back seat to do it, but you could easily use one of those 2x12 enclosures manufactured for the hatch. Honestly, this setup is not for casual listening, and I did it more to build it into a show car, but wasn't quite sure what your overall goal was.

I'm lookin to hit 145 plus. Not sure if I can do that with one sub. I used to have a Autoteck ms 5000 amp and 2 12'' Autoteck subs. I would hit 149 to 150 every show I went to.

I have two 10" Memphis M3 subs in a custom built HDF box hooked up to a Memphis amp (not sure what model but I think it's 1300 watts). Running that off an Alpine head unit...sounds amazing. Not to brag but I've never heard a set of 10's that sound as clear or hit as hard as mine.

Your are not going to hit a 145 with 1 10".
What did you have to hit 150 before? What subs and box? Any port specs? 150 is VERY high for a street system. Especially 2 12s. I would really like to see.

I had the Autoteck ms 5000 amp with 2- 12 Autoteck subs. In a slot port box. Don't remember the specs on the box. The place that built the box used a computer program to build it. They closed there doors about 2 years ago. I did have them wall off the back of my Grand prix that the stereo was in.

I'm running a Kicker 750.1 amp and one 12" CVX. (basically a round L7). I love it. Clean loooowww bass.
If you're looking for some serious bumps from a 10" I'd look into RE audio. They make some mean stuff.
I love kicker or jl audio for an amp.

I have ran 2 - Rockford Fosgate HE2's (they were the first Punch DVC in their line up back then) for 9 years and they still sound great. Powered them with a Rockford amp at 200W a piece for the first 5 years, and then got a great deal on an Audiobahn amp to push them at 300W a piece. Now I am wanting a lot more power and need to get a new system.
What I have experienced, Rockford subs last forever if you stay 50 - 75% of the RMS power. They are not as efficient as some subs out there and are spendy for the power range you get, but they still sound great and last.
I have their 400S (old punch series) and they tend to run hot, so they need a fan on them if you want to run them hard with not a lot of air space around them. I need to get new subs to get enough power to even put the Audiobahn amp to the test (2400W RMS at 1 ohm
).
