Rockford makes great subs and amps-they've never done me wrong. Those 15" subs are the entry level Rockfords though and don't handle that much power which is why they are so cheap. Also, I don't think you'll have enough room for 2 15" in your car and are only really good for high power systems which you don't seem to be looking at(a lot more $). They aren't very efficient subs and 12" or 10 " subs would be a better choice maybe 2 in a sealed box with a moderate amp for power. RMS is the actual power to be expected from an amp continuously. Peak is a wasteful measurement of power output-pay no attention to peak as it on'y gives you the maximum amount of power it can produce at a quick burst of power which can't be sustained. Match the RMS with what the subs can handle.

Profile sucks-don't waste your $ on that Walmart krap. I used to sell car audio a few years ago.

[Juaxoo]

so...match the RMS of the amp to the highest the subs can handle or mid range ?

really? alot of ppl say Profiles are badass....and ive never seen um at WalMart lol.....but im pretty sure i could fit in two 15's.....ill measure tomorrow sincei dont have to work....but yea/////////////

so the Stage 1's are the "entry" level ones eh ? kinda figured....but its not like im trying to enter contests and win....i just want good subs to kick it when i skate w my friends in a parking lot....

[Cobrajet67]

Check the power handling of the subs and make sure you don't buy an amp with an RMS output rating that is greater than that #. Don't forget you have to put those 15's in a box! I am almost positive you won't fit them in there but measure it and find out. Profile were the cheapest amps we sold and overheated when heavily taxed. You can usually tell what a good amp is by how they rate the power handling. If they stress paek power then stay away. If they stress RMS it is probably a decent brand.

[Juaxoo]

hmmmm ok...stress Peak stay away ...stress RMS go for it ....lemme see what else i have lined up on CF...
but again like i said im just wanting sumthin thatll make ppl feel me down the block (or three) and sumthin just to blast when chillen with friends and skating :\

Polk/MOMO MM2104
10" 4-ohm subwoofer
http://www.crutchfield.com/App/Product/Item/Main.aspx?showAll=N&g=520&i=107MM2104&tp=111&tab=r eview

ima guess these arent too bad ? 50-300 RMS w power range...
$149 each but its buy one get one :\....i know im a lil cheap lol....
but not too bad? im waiting for more ppls opinions....ive never heard of anyone talk about Polk....but everyone who reviewed it said 10/10 :\
help

Polk/MOMO MM2124
12" 4-ohm subwoofer
http://www.crutchfield.com/App/Product/Item/Main.aspx?showAll=N&g=520&i=107MM2124&tp=111

pretty much the same damn thing....just 12 inch....iono why im posting both 10and12 before i get a review on one but oh well...igot nothin better to do..
now for sum amps
.......i couldnt find any
HELP !? lol

[Cobrajet67]

Sounds reasonable. Like anything else in this world-the more you spend the more you get for your $, usually. Or in this case the more bucks the more boom. You can get a very decent system as long as you buy quality over size or power. Even a large sub or "powerful" amp will start distorting badly at higher volume levels if they are inferior quality stuff. Also, look into JL and Infinity Kappa.

[Juaxoo]

JL and Infinity Kappa what ?Amps or Subs ?
or both ?..


Edit: ok looked at IK and a lil too expensive....$179 each :\...im sure they kick ass but a lil pricey for me ...i want two and an amp...and Jl....cheapest were $99 each for 8" which isnt too bad..but i could find better deals.... I USED to have Alpins SWE type-E lined up...cheap lil things but i heard good things....i heard that type-S is better though?

And now that im looking at more RF things almost all their stuff has sum kind of deal wit them like buy one get one or buy one get one half off......wonder why :\.........oh well.
i think i might stick with the RF 10 or 12s 4-ohm.....til i get more voices in here....
but i still need an amp.....

[Cobrajet67]

Polks are very good too. Polk would be on the upper ends of quality. When buying subs generally you should look for rubber surrounds and plastic cones. Also, make sure the speakers have a high sensitivity rating measured in db to use as much of the wattage your amp is sending them.

[Cobrajet67]

JL and Infinity Kappa for both amps and subs, though I would highly recommend Rockford for an amp no matter what sub you get.

[mustangIImatt]

Do you want bass or mids? Stay away from infinity and entry level fosgate consider frequency response with your sub purchase...

[Juaxoo]

yea ill mostl ikely go with a RF amp
and i try to stick in the same family with things....so ill prolly stay in RF for the subs too

no one said why stage 1 is baD? what should i go with Stage 2....there are sum stage 2 10" ones for $80 each...i might be able to do that .....but im not seeing TOO much dif ?
Sumone list specs to look for when ur talking about rubbersurround....and cone.....polyprop is good aint it ?lol... Foam surround...list a good axample of a good amp to a good pair of subs so i can compare wtf i want or whatever......
