I'm in the same situation as far as budget, and I was considering getting either those Kicker subs or some JL W0's. My goal is sound quality, and I listen to mostly metal & rock, and some rap. I have a 2000 Accord coupe, and my amp is a Rockford Fosgate Punch 55.2. Would you recommend either of those subs? And would it better for me to go with 10"s? Any help will be greatly appreciated.

w0 for sq. no kickers for that purpose.
12's will go lower than the 10". if you have adequate power and space, go with the 12".
no, your sq won't suffer.

Thanks for the response! I now really want to go with the JLs, and I saw this JL 12" PowerWedge for $250 (including shipping):

I thought I saw the same thing somewhere else for $310:
http://www.woofersetc.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=product.display&Product_ID=2917

I thought that first one looked like a pretty good deal, but then I noticed it had an RMS range of 125W, and the second had 250W. Does this mean the first link only incudes one 12"? Any advice?

12's will give you a more deeper and longer bass sound that is slower to react.

if you listen to metal/rock more than anything i suggest 2 10's because they are more responsive and play with better sq for that genre.

if u listen to metal defenatly go with the 10s...12s tend to get sloppy with the double bass and u get a deaper tone with the 12s witch really isnt nessasary for that kinda music....10s will be plenty loud enough and will sound better and they will also have more ''thump'' then the 12s

Thanks for the advice, guys. I think due to the low RMS on my amp, I'll be going with 1 10", most likely an Elevation Audio Comp10, with a sealed box. Do you think this is a good choice?
