this will work if you bridge your amp

I'd say the hertz one is probably the best

That amp really is quite feeble though mate. Your gonna be getting maybe 160 watts rms, which isnt really enough to power most of the subs on the market.

Ideally you want a good 300 watts rms.

But still, if you dont want a new amp then either of those ones above will be fine.

is that even when teh amp is bridged?

[Coonper]

is that even when teh amp is bridged?

Oh no, sorry, got it wrong. You will have about 350rms to play with, which will be fine.:y:

This wouldnt half make some noise! http://caraudiosecurity.com/shop/product/products_id/3276.html

Although ive never heard an MTX for myself, but i believe they are very good spl subs:y:

what do people rate of the obove JBL enclosure because iv seen it listed for £90

[Coonper]

Its just a gto sub in a bandpass enclosure.

Pretty good though! Will be very loud in that enclosure for sure!

Band pass consists of a selaed box behind the sub, then a smaller, ported enclosure on the other side of the sub.

Loud, but with a narrow frequency band.

[lukemc5853]

what does teh frequency band do?

[Coonper]

Look at the graphs on here, which shows the different range of frequencies for different enclosure designs.

You can see just how much more versatile sealed and ported enclosures are compared to bandpass.

Bandpass is the loudest, therefore it is ideal for competitions, but not too great for all round listening.

thanks for the advice repped!
