i had two 12" kicker compvx's in my camaro. think they handle 750 rms for each one. they are the same thing as the l7's but round and they pound like no other. pretty cheap too. i think i paid like 160 shipped for each one.

def the best bang for the buck and they are so loud. i ran both off a power acoustik a3000db amp and that combo was bad ***. hifonics amps are very nice also but more costly.

and if you need a box to fit those subs i have one for sale in the not lsx parts classifieds. its brand new and never used. its the biggest box they have for fbody with 1.50 cu space per sub and fits in the t top space. most big power subs wont fit into an ebay sub box because the mounting depth is too shallow. wanting 100 shipped.

no it not a sub thump. it blocks the t tops. if you want to keep your t tops thats your only option for a big sub. the stealth boxes only fit a 10inch sub and they have to be shallow mounting. heres my box its from the website. http://www.audioenhancers.com/catalo..._93NCT300.html

I never knew they made this box that had the t-top holders? Cool but I got one 10'' hx2 and it surprised me. I've had a stereo with 4 12's jsut so you think that its not my first stereo. With a good 10'' and good amp its actually really impressive. I have another 10'' sitting in my garage and I also wanted to have to subs but thought I'd try this stealth box first. I needed to have a place for the t-tops and wanted to still fit mroe than a peanut in the back, LOL That box above though is cool. I got everything to do a custom firberglass box but I need to get on that project though but sure it'll never happen, LOL

Hey man, I had a pair of Fi Car Audio SSd's in the enclosure I'm going to sell to you (you saw the pic I believe. They are rated at 800 watts RMS and you can change internal soft part options on the subwoofers like copper voice coils etc etc. They sounded freaking awesome in my car when I ran them. They move a lot of air and sound good.

https://ssl.perfora.net/www.ficaraud...iew.shopscript

The good news: They are less than 200 dollars each SHIPPED! Free shipping by them right now.

If you do not know Fi, they are made by the same guy that made/engineered the last generation RE audio subs. Beasts.
