need a sub or subs and an amp for around $500

that budget is just for sub(s) and amp...wiring/box not included in that budget.

love the kicker amps like the zx750 or zx1000 ($240shipped ; $300shipped on EBAY)

I've thought so far about 2 12" assassins ; 1 15" Fi SSD ; 1 15" Fi Q...

Totally open to suggestions and once again i want good versatile SQ that can still get loud.

i can be persuaded to stretch that budget somewhat but not a whole lot...chauncey don't you dare tell me to save more :-) i could spend 3 G's on a system if i really wanted to...i dont.

by the way this system is gonna be in a crown vic with a sealed trunk.

15" fi Q and nine.1 with the forum discount. But thats 600ish. Or you can go with the kicker amp. 600 atleast! 500 is asking for a lower quality amp.

would 1 15" Q get louder than 2 12" assassins despite 9" less cone area???

how would the sq compare q vs. assassins???

how much rms should you give the Q? i know it's spec'd at 1000 but should i really feed it more?

heres a setup one 12inch idmax dvc4 off ebay around $250, then a mtx 801d off ebay around $150, that setup in a good ported box will have way better sq and be pretty close spl wise.

The forum discount is at elemental designs website. If you go to their website and type in "forum" in the search, you can get most of their car audio stuff at a discount. IE..the nine.1

The ed nine.1 is 315 after discount and the 15 q is 279 I think. So, $594 total...that would be a very nice set up! The ed nine.1 puts out 1200 watts rms, which would be perfect for the q.

yeah i'm leaning towards the AA assassins cause i have a dual 12" box already that is like perfect for them...

just wanted to see if people would argue convincingly enough for a better SQL setup in the same price range...but ppl seem to have nothing but good things to say about the assassins so i think i'm headed that way

assassins are really nice and will get pretty loud.

but a 15 Q would be sweet too.

either way get a kicker amp not eD kicker amps>eD
