New Subs+Speakers

[Nixthebomb]

I've got a Pioneer AVH-3200DVD for the headunit, and a Kenwood amp pushing around 500W RMS for subs, I'm looking into new speakers and subs, Don't want to spend more than 200 for all 4 speakers, think I've found the one's I want for those, NOw it's just a matter of what subs to get not wanting to spend more than 210 on sub/subs.

I've been looking, and so far the only thing I've come up with is

MTX Audio TR7515-22 (1) http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_13269_MTX-Audio-TR7515-22.html
Kicker C158 (2) http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_8556_Kicker-C158-07C158.html
Kicker C128 (it's actually two) http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_26010_Kicker-C128-10C128---Buy-One-Get-One-FREE.html

Anyone got suggstions for a good sub/brand

EDIT: Think the sub I Want

Sundown Audio SA-15: http://www.soundsolutionsaudio.com/store/products/Sundown-Audio-SA%2d15.html

Two twelve inch Rockford fosgate p1s are about $100 each. They push 250 rms each so the amp you want to run would be about right for them. The p3s I have hit stupid hard, but I'm a big Rockford fan. I also like the sound quality of JL audio stuff but I think they are a bit overpriced.

Alpine Type R's sound insanely good, that is what i have. My friend has two P3 12's in the back of his ext. cab F-150 in a vented box and it hits so hard my vision gets blurry, yet when we turn it down you can actually make it sound good without rediculious amounts of SPL. But anyways you can make a lot of different speakers sound good. I have had 2 walmart pioneer 10's in a sealed box that sounded great. But my reccomendation is the Alpine Type R, The Rockford Fosgate P3, or i also like the Kicker L7's too.

A couple things to consider....
1) Maybe just use one sub that can handle a bit more power.
2) How much space to you want to lose? Two subs will take up more room.

I've had one JL 10W3v2 in my old '87 S-15 Jimmy and it got pretty loud for just one sub.

Definitely recommend the Sundown SA 15 over any alpine, rockford punch series, or kicker sub. They make great equipment and isnt something that everybody has like the main stream stuff listed above.

I'm not much of a internet buyer and we don't have Sundown or RE dealers in the area so I've never heard them. Heard of them, yes.

I like the fact that the Sundown has a paper cone.

I think one reason that people go with the main brands (RF, Alpine, JL, Kicker, etc), is they stick with what they know. I've always had good luck with JL products, so I stay with them.

Definitely understandable, I had two rockford power t1 12's and although they are decent subs, for the price you can get twice as good of a speaker. When i made the switch from mainstream to other products I was nervous just going off what so many people said, but after I did I will never go back. It's also nice if you have a problem you can actually call the owner of those companies and they will work with you.

I have currently one TR7512-22 and it hits really low. If you go this route, I would highly recommend a "sealed" enclosure to expand the noticable range a bit more. Mine is in a slightly too small ported box, and it sounds good but a sealed will sound better.
I'm going to be making my own sub box out of two layers of 3/4" MDF and will be installing my brand new Focal Solid4 amp for my new door speakers JL C3-650.
Now for my questions..... where is the easiest and most secure location for amps? I need room for two, MRP-M500 Alpine and the Focal. Any hints fellow SE peeps?
