I'm gonna run an MTX 801d (400W @ 4ohm, 800w @ 2ohm - 14.4v). I guess I want 2 decent subs or 1 good sub. Want to spend about $250 total on the sub(s). Taking all suggestions, (minus audiobahn, have heard 2 friends and I wasn't impressed). I want good SQL in a sealed enclosre I already have.

Thanks

you can get a Type X which will work great with that amp
2 Type Rs although youll be underpowering them
2 Kicker CVRs will be powered perfectly

also you should forget the idea of using your current box and you should make a box for the specs of the sub(s) because a incorrect box can make even the best subs sound bad
ps: the subs were ebay prices

it's actually a dvc but the wires on one side were clipped off at the end and the other part were you put the wires onto it was taken off, so I guess it's a svc. ;).

it is using only a single voice coil. I have no pics because it is already installed before I could take any pics.

Basically one side has a voice coil coming to the ends of the sub and then it looks like someone seutered them off and took out the positive and negative things you pur the wires in to power it.

It works fine on the other voice coil though.. I was kind of sad when I got this one.. but still very happy with it.

why would someone mess the sub up like that thats stupid..you can probably still fix that though reattach the tinsel..solder it on then run it to the other voice coil terminal...too much work for someone like me to do too lazy lol

You could also get 2 RE12's and give them 200 apeice at 4 ohms. I have my sealed, but if you go with two of them you should port them. They have fantasic SQ and can get loud in the proper enclosure as well.

I will sell my 15" Diamond Audio TDX for 275 shipped if you are interested.

WTF? wait so that means that its only half of its power? Say it was 1000rms, if the other voice coil dont work that means its only 500rms right? i dont get this so please explain right.
