Been looking to get a new sub for my car as the fact that my car sounds like I'm listening to my music through a tin can! Is beginning to get at me.

I'm looking to get a 12" sub as its better for all round sound. I reckon I have managed to narrow my choice down to these 2 -

SPL AUDIO 12" SUBWOOFER 2000W 2OHM

PIONEER TSW3001D4 12" 3000 WATT SUB

If anyone could help it would be much appreciated...
Are these worth buying?? Any better suggestions in same price tag?? Any suggestions on an amp to use also??

Cheers:y:

a friend of mine has that pioneer sub, and i vouch for it, its brilliant, hes doubled it up with this amp. Been running around 7 months, no problems.

I know people dont rate theloudest.com however both me and him have been using virtually the same amp for almost a year with no problems.

Cheers.

My mate is also fond of the Loudest.com, and on the whole it seems ok, sometimes been a hit or a miss though.

Some of "theloudest" stuff claim massive power ratings! 2000w 6x9's for example! However, they only have a small RMS, which is the figure that counts! Always check out the RMS! Never build a system of max power ratings.

Im powering my comonents with a 1500w "loudest" amp. Cus its only 150w rms! Lol!;)
