Help choosing a sub?

[MoeBetta55 0]

currently i have a Rockford Fosgate punch 501s amp and i want to find a 12 that will run great with that amp..

my amp specs are

• Bridged Into A 4-Ohm Load: 500 watts x 1
  
• Per Channel Into A 2-Ohm Load: 250 watts x 2
  
• Per Channel Into A 4-Ohm Load: 125 watts x 2
  

Any suggestions on a 12" that hits hard and clear?...i was looking at the decon 12" by ssa audio only problem is it only requiers 300wrms 4ohms or the sd-2 series by sundown 500wrms 4ohm but thats for shallower mounting depths and i want something that will slump...

im open for any suggestions... i would be up for maybe a 15 if i have room for it. if their are better subs out their for my amp then those let me know don't really have a budget..

If you don't really have a budget, I could point you in all kind of directions. Please, understand, size of woofer and the rating of a subwoofer have no relationship as to how "loud" it will play. If you are unsure of how much room you have, please post MAX demensions. Also,are you trying to keep the RF, or are you wanting to get bigger, aka are you content with what you currently have. You may want to check out the Gcon in a well ported enclosure, 12", and that would make a great start.

ya i was looking at the gcon or the dcon... one of the two....

my max dimensions are

Height 21"

bottom depth 29"

top depth 21" ( due to seat angles)

length 40"

I have a question about the gcon... can i run it in a single 4 ohm load at 500wrms? or no?

Yes you can. You need the Dual 2 version of the sub to get a 4 ohm load btw.

And the size of the sub has a great deal to do with how loud it will play.
