ive got this sub in a small fibreglass enclosure running 1000watts up its backside though, but it pounds well enough!

Better off getting 1 good sub for £200 and then adding another at a later date if you still need it! Im happy with just the 1!

if you want 2 subs with over 1000wrms to make it sound good youve got to wave bye bye to the back seats, the box will take up a lot of room

a box is more important than the sub

your budget is way off, an amp producing that kind of power will need to be £400 or more

£200 or more for subs (each)

your looking at at least £60 on wires

so youve gone from wanting 2000wrms down to less than 500wrms

do you have the general understanding on the RMS to watts difference and power outputs? im starting to get confussed lol.

got a mate selling a sub and amp...will set you back 500 bucks for the both of them.
RE XXX 18" and an orion D5000 amp.will be fine pushing them at 2.5k rms daily. but as said by Ash, bye bye back seats! it will need a good 7cuft!

i dont quite understand what your looking for? . . . you want some bass, then get / make a decent box!

imo the mistake people make our buying an inbuild sub amp box, for cheap, thinking its the best option.


find the sub you want, find the amp you want... each that will match with one another lovely, and ive a good result, get someone / or yourself to design a ported box.
and be amazed... when your mates are going "ere look at my million 6x9 and hundered soobz!" looking like epic twats, and you have your 2 subs there, booming the shit out of them!
