Silver Member Username: Sony224422Deep River, CT US Post Number: 179 Registered: Dec-04 | its an old 300 rms r. I was thinking maybe 2 new 500 r's or an x in a ported box. Im not really happy with it, but im getting a ported box made for it so maybe i'll change my mind. |

Silver Member Username: CenusHicksville, Ohio Usa Post Number: 470 Registered: Jan-05 | well since your car doesn't put out a continues 14.4 volts that amp puts out around 650-700watts so i would take this eclipse http://www.woofersetc.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=product.display&Product_ID=1995 or this one would work but i can't find what voice coil conf. it has. http://www.woofersetc.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=product.display&Product_ID=1997 |

Silver Member Username: Kd7nfrMontpelier, ID United States Post Number: 782 Registered: Apr-05 | Eclipse Ti's are HIGHLY underrated. I'm an autorized dealer, and those subs will handle 750wrms to EACH voice coil in a well build enclosure. I've seen some insane setups with those subs. BUT they're highly effient. They'll run with that amp fine. You'll want a 1cu/ft sealed box, or a 3.0-4.0 cu/ft box tuned to 32Hz for best sound (IMHO). 35Hz is what Eclipse recommends, but it has kind of a hollow sound... |
