alright, sorry to be a nuisance and bother you with a newbie question that's probably been asked by 90578 different people. i've been viewing these forums for a while now and have actually learned a lot from them. when i started out with car audio, i was an idiot and had pyramid subs and a legacy amp. let's just say i blew those in a matter of a month. now, the current system i have now still ***** ass. that's why i wanna upgrade. i currently have a 980w power acoustik amp pushing (don't laugh...i bought this when i didn't know too much still, immediately after my pyramid/legacy mistake) two audiobahn 12"s. i don't even know what kinda audiobahn subs they are; they came in a (hold laughter back again) neon lit bandpass box with three ports, wrapped in fake leather that looked cool as hell. i bought it for the bling i guess. so, basically, it's crap. the sad thing is, it pounds a lot louder than a buncha my friend's systems. what do you expect, they got sony xplods from walmart. anyways...
im on a limited budget. being 17 years old and working at a car dealership, then blowing all my money on my blazer doesn't help. but here's what i want. i want to find a SINGLE sub, preferably a 15" or a 12", under the price of $300. actually, the cheaper the better...but i wanna spend more than $150 on a sub. i don't want any gay circuit city/best buy brand, either. i want something different. i want it to be able to take a lot of power, and sound loud as hell. saddly, like most 17 year olds, i want more spl than sq. don't get me wrong; i want to be able to hear the distinct music and whatnot, but i want it to make me go deaf. so probably 60% spl and 40% sq. now that the sub is out of the way, i guess i'd need an amp to push it since i want it to be loud. so, when recommending a sub, recommend the best amp for it, as well. same price range, $300 or less. i'd be willing to purchase off ebay or whatnot.
thank you for your help. reading many posts, a lot of you do a great job. if it takes time to respond, i understand. if you don't feel like responding, i respect that as well. but help me out...i need to hear amazing bass thats not typical low grade crap //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif
