Hey guys, im lookin to buy a nice 12in sub. I like sound quality and would only be powering it with a 300watt rms amp. I found a nice one i like, its a hifonics Zeus. Anyone heard about it. Im open to take suggestions for subs. thanks guys

Infinity Perfect 12" sounds like it would fit your needs perfectly :)
 






oh btw i dont wanna spend more than 130
 






no more than 130? sounds like the name brand stuff is ruled out ie: kicker fosgate JL, thats what i would recommend, but if you're on a budget i think the alpine type R or even the S would sound nice...good luck
 












i've heard of hifonics...never ran it tho, whats the specs of your amp, that will really determine which sub is best, i know it's 300 watts RMS but you got any other info?
 












just bought myself a Infinity Kappa Perfect 12.1d, i got it for 145$ at etronics.com , they sell new stuff dirt cheap there, have saved nearly 300$ by buying from there, rather then crutchfield :D
 






Actually, if you shop around you can probably get a JL 12W0 for $130. It would definately handle your amp.
 












hey man,
Your amp is rated at 410watts @ 2ohms as well, so I would look for a dual 4 ohm voice coil sub to use the amps full potential. Those hifonics subs are nice, but you wont be using the full power you have....

might I recommend either:

-AW1200X 12" Subwoofer w/ dual 4ohm voice coils - 700 watts RMS $99.99
-12" Punch HE2 Dual 4ohm Subwoofer - 400 watts RMS / 800 watt PEAK $89.99
^both available at: http://www.thezeb.com/caraudio/specials_subwoofers.html
-MA120XE 12" Competition Subwoofer 700W $89.99
available at: http://www.thezeb.com/caraudio/ma_audio_subwoofers.html

Basically just look for what you might like: do you prefer performance or looks? You'll probably want a sub with a high efficiency as well.
I have had really good buying experiences at:
www.thezeb.com
www.sounddomain.com
www.ebay.com (be careful though if your new to it)
 






hmmm....im likin the MA audio sub......come guys lets get some more opinions here!!

thanks
