kicker, jlaudio, fosgate, DD, there's plenty of good subs to choose. All of these top of the line 10s will pound. 2 subs are general more volume than one for output.

Great input from everyone. Still havent made up my mind though.
Going to purchase another amp after I get the subs. So I can be sure to max out whatever I go with. The elemental designs sound like a good deal.

i have a alpine type r 10 in a jl audio stealth box and i love it being pushed by a 350 class d alpine amp. lots of bass but not a over kill. sound quality is also great.

very impressed with dayton as a company...just built a set of HT towers with their classic 8's and they sound amazing...I think I might replace my Ascendant assassin 10 with one of theirs just to see what they can do in a car.

Nobody likes the Image Dynamics IDQ?
I think they sound better than the JL 10w6.

I'm going with the Elemental Designs 10" - my second choice would be the Alpine R's...

Damn good sub the ID IDQ, but don't forget my favorite, the ID MAX!

I've ran my 2 ID MAX 10s in stealth boxes before with great results!
If you really want your subs to POUND!Ported is the way to go!

I like the IDQ, too. I think it's outdated, but it's still good.

I got 2 12" type Rs in my caddy and love the way they sound. Picked them up for $114 each new, for sound quality and being able to push them to the limit cant go wrong. For the price of JL Audio... hell no not me. Put 2 10" type X's in there for $200 new pushing 1k watts rms, blow away any w6, and the w6 is still $100 more!

Or you could put a Fi Q in there and blow away Type X and W6 both. Actually, even the SSD would. (assuming proper boxes in all cases)
