So I was looking at some American Bass subs, the XD series. i never heard of them are they good or bad? Also I am running one Rockford T10001BD amp and would like to get two twelves, any recomendations? What about pioneer the TS-W3000 series any good? Was trying to keep my budget tight till i get a better job. Also There is a kicker L5 series 15" any good?

I don't know about this specific woofer really, but Pioneer in general should be avoided.

Yea I know that feeling. How tight are you keeping your budget? What does a Rockford T10001BD do exactly? I don't really feeling like looking it up. Post a link to the owners manuel.

I would like to stay under 400 for a box and subs. Really wanted two 12's, i was thinking if i could get one decent 12 for now and then get the same one to have two later i would do that. here is the link for that RF amp https://www.rockfordfosgate.com/products/product_details.asp?cat_id=2&series_id=7&family_id=22&item_id=95251&locale=en_US&p_status=

it is pretty true with power, i already blew up a rms 800w poweraccustic sub running at 1ohm with the gain hardly up. So i need something big,

Ummm... blowing up an 800 watt furry turd PowerAcoustik sub with a "1000 watt" amplifer, that's REALLY not saying much. I've seen those woofers blow with WAY less power.

Also, what enclosure was it in? A poorly built or mis-sized enclosure can DRASTICALLY reduce the power handling capabilities of a woofer. You could have conceivably blown that woofer with 300 watts.

Generally speaking, I don't believe RF specs any more than many other amplifier brands. Sure they USED to be good, but they ain't all that anymore.

Well thanks for the insults, The box is 1.5 cu ft slot port 1 in high dens wood and double stacked on the top. Sorry it's a bad sub. So I will just go with the memphis HO's then thanks for all the help.

he wasn't insulting you in any way...merely correcting your statement.
