pick a sub for me

So far I got Fosgate t162c all the way around 75w rms
HiFonics Nemesis Series NX880 100 Watt RMS X 4



I got dynamat and dynaxorb, this setup is super loud and clear.
I'm looking for a sub setup, everyone seems to have their own opinion, so here's what I need. I want a four sub setup, 4-10's or 12's, 2 driver's if they hit hard enough. I always wanted a cerwin vega stroker but my box room is very limited. I need big bass, I have owned Infinity Reference subs, sonys xplode, SAS Bazooka, Coustic and Gravity. The bazooka hit the hardest, but the the infinity sounded real big( had 2) . I was recommeded audiobahn subs, Alpine type R, can't afford jl w7's, Looking for the best(I know) hardest hitting low down dirty sub for the camaro. It looks like any camaro box is going to be around 0.6 cu ft air per driver.

Old school PG Titanium or Eclipse Titanium. Eclipse Ti subs are crazy loud. From modern subs nothing sounds better to me then JL W6v2.

^^^ BIG negative on this comment. My 3 10" L7's are in a 6.5 cu. ft box and they still need a bit more. for .6 cu. ft per sub. get some Kicker Comp 12's. Inside your hatch, there gonna be loud. Little bro's got a 10" Power Refereance from Memphis on a 400 watt rockford fosgate amp and rattles pictures off the wall when hes in the driveway. 2 Kicker Comp 12's will give you what your looking for. I promise.

well, if you read your manual or talked to someone who does that for a living, kicker squares work great in small sealed boxes. Yes you can go huge with them, but they are efficient when placed in small boxes.

Efficient yes, but also a waste of a box and sub. FAAAARRR more efficient in a larger ported box. Talk to Michael Hughes, World Champion using Kicker squares. if you need more info. visit www.termpro.com <------ thats where all the world champions and dB Draggers hang out. VERY, VERY informative.

yea..a square shaped sub will want more air than a round one of similar diameter/length..

Klypto - what's with your setup? such a nice box, subs, amp.........and messy looking install..???
