Audio newbie question, please help
 

I need to know what kinda of box and amp for a sub with 500 watt RSM, 1000 watt max, i'm looking for something with plexiglass, um..also note that i'm on a tite budget.

Now wut kind of bass are u hoping to achieve? Personally i don't like plexi because bass tends to hit hard. Because i have 2 subs, i have a sealed enclosure. It gives a more rumble and loose bass. But anyone will tell u that it's best to hear it for yourself

12" IDQ or W3 mated with a JBL 300.1 or double each.


im not sure if JBL still made the powervalve amps...but i recommend this because ive had a similar setup for quite a while, and have no complaints...theres probably better...but thats my opinion.

wait a sec..do u have the amp and sub already? or u just looking for a sub with 500 RMS blah blah blah?

I only have the sub, no amp or box yet. I want somethign to sound good but also look good because it's going to be a custom trunk, like i already said my sub has 500 Watt RSM, max power is 1000Watt, how do i know what sub is right for it?

itll be nice to know what sub it is.

tell us what sub it is, how many voice coils, and if its 2ohm, 4ohm or other. then we can match up a decent amp w/ it for ya
