Ok, so I am looking into a system, i currently have a sealed box for 2 10" subs, but one sub blew and I have the other still in. This is my brothers old system so im not sure exactly the power of it or the amp. I believe the amp is a Memphis 1000W and they were about 2 year old eclipse subs. Im looking for something that will put out way more of a hit, but not my in my wallet. Should i try for 2 12s or maybe just one 12 or 15 with higher watts? :-\ thanks for any help, i dont want to waste my money.
Demko, it'll depend on what you consider "way more of a hit". Are you looking for SPL or SQ? For SQ, 2x10" subs will do just fine. If you want a bit of both, go with 2x12" in a proper box. Lot of the cheap subs with boxes are not designed to spec. You will be amazed with the sound improvements a sub could produce in a right box. Just curious, how did you blow the sub? Normally, subs don't burn out from clean power. It is distortion/clipping that kills them. So if you're going to make an investment in a better sub system, then think twice about the amp. If it's sending out bad waves, it will destroy more subs.
What model are those eclipe sub's? If one is still good I'd look for a good ported box made to specs for it, and just spend your money on a good amp to run it.

I am more interested in SPL. And the sub blew because of crap in the trunk resting against the sub. It is a mono amp also btw.
