Yeah, true although I'm going from entry level low end mtx crap that was rated 200wrms per sub and i was only feeding both of them together only 250rms.. so way underpowered that were in a sealed enclousre from my understanding you can get way louder ported. I'm also kinda thinking the SA-12 is more what im looking for cause i hear it's spl oriented(i don't wanna have to upgrade my electrical though..) but i guess i won't really know till i see what dcon's are capable of since i've only used low end 12's.

Thanks for the response. glad i got a good idea the amp is 300 + 20 dollars shipping on amazon i've looked around i think thats bout the best deal for what i want. as for the box i got the dcon 12 optimal ported design thats in the download section my dad's got bunch of wood cutting tool's so imma get him to help me with that. I just hope the dcon is loud enough for me although i've heard of people with that amp and its usually underated so if it is i could always get another dcon but we'll see..

Ok my first post here guys, I sold my MTX terminator's i know haha really cheap 12's with a crappy amp but to me they honestly weren't that bad although i haven't heard anything other than that and kicker comps. i'm just now starting to learn about car audio. right now i have alpine cda-105 HU alpine type r coaxial 6x8s up front alpine type r coaxial 6x9s on the rear deck I was gonna get a 4ch amp and a mono block amp but i came across 5ch amps so u get your high's n mids and sub channel all in one amp the kicker zx700.5 looks like a pretty good deal and i'd probably come out cheaper getting that vs buying a 4ch and a mono block amp my question is would 70x4 be enough for the speakers(they are rated at 100rms each) and I think the SSA dcon 12 would be a great sub ya? it would be getting 420wrms at 2ohms thats enough right? anyways any advice would be great. I'm trying to get a good sub(gonna go ported) and amp/amps plus box(i could build my own)/wiring for under ~700
