Default Need Some Audio Advice for the Daily Driver

I just bought a 89 Buick Regal GS for my new daily driver. I bought a Pioneer Deh-3000IB Cd player for it, and It already has aftermarket speakers in the Doors and the rear deck. I am looking for some extra bass. I have an empty dual 10" box and an US Acoustics 4 Ohm 80X2 2Ohm 140Wx2 @ 12.9volt amp sitting in my basement. I am wondering if you guys could reccamend a couple of inexpense 10" subs? Thanks

Kickers are some good inexpensive subs. You might also check e-bay, tey have tons of subs for cheap. Shop around, you'll find a good deal somewhere.

I carry several brands that I don't have listed on my site yet because of rotating stock with my distributor. I do have the MTX 4500 subs for $56.00 per (includes shipping). I also have Powerbass S10D's for $49.00 each. I have a really nice MA Audio MA1000XL for $89.99 or the MA Audio MA101XQ for $45.99. Let me know a budget and I can list a bunch of them. Just PM me.

Dayton Quatro for cheap subs. Even Dayton DVC will do a good job for the money. The 10" has only 6mm of Xmax, but it's still a hell of a lot more than the 2 stock Monsoon "subwoofers" can do, and it's under $50. I'm not supposed to link the site, but you can probably find it.
