I have a Autotek SX275 that I m gonna put on some 6x9s. I have a Autotek 99 for my bass. It is rated at 350watts at 4 ohms. I don't know the 2 ohm rating. I just wanna know what would be some good 12" subs I could get?

I am currently looking for the specs for an Autotek 99, where did you find them? The 99 I have has a switch on the bottom to switch it between 1 ohm and 2 ohm stable.

This is the guy who wants to buy the amp from you hapc. I was trying to see what woofers would be good once I get the amp. I requested the manual from Autotek.

You are going about things 100% backwards. Measure the space in your trunk you are willing to dedicate to subwoofers. Base your subwoofer decision off that amount of space, your goals, and your budget. The box + the subwoofer are the most importantly parts of your sub bass system. The subwoofer amplifier will generally make little practical difference for daily drivers. Concentrate on the box and subwoofer. Tell us what your budget is and how much space you are willing to dedicate and we can help you more. ------------- New Project: 2003 Pathfinder

I am going to be a freshmen in college and I am puting together some knock for my 1995 Chevy Lumina. I have a Autotek MX500 which is rated at 800 watts at 2 ohms. I want to go with 2 12's in a sealed box. What would be some good options for me to check out. I am loking to spend around $300.00 to $400.00.

If you want to save yourself some money and get some very nice subs go with Alpine type R's...they sound great in a sealed box, aren't super deep, can handle 500rms, and can be had on Ebay for about $100 each

soundstream vangogh's you should be able to get them for about 225 a sub and they are well rounded for SQ and SPL

Check out Cerwin Vega Vmax series. I suggest a single 15. Costs less then most 12s, but hits harder.

You're the only one who can answer that. Go listen to different subs. Of equal importance is how you're installing them - box, baffle, vented, slotted, ported, sealed... How much space? Figure that out first, then look for what fits & sounds right.

Kicker Comp VRs can be found pretty cheap, also Type Rs are a good bet.

I used to really like Soundstream stuff wayy back when they were making there Exact line of speakers and Rubicon amps... I dunno about thier newer stuff.. it all looks so ... I dunno. It looks purposely aimed at the tuner market and that kinda rubs me the wrong way. Like.. the VanGogh is prolly a pretty good sounding woofer but why'd they have to ruin it with a little neon blue spider? What does a spider have to do with the painter eh? I really liked Soundstreams naming conventions of "D'Artagnan" and "Picasso" and "DaVinci".... used to be gold embossed sketches from DaVinci.. now its blue spiders. Ick. Kinda reminds me of chrome flames from another crap-brand.. ------------- "I'm finished!" - Daniel Plainview

i know the spiders everywhere i don't like it much my self but the SPLX subs and the XXX subs don't have the spiders and the van gogh amps have a simple look and no spiders and the T 4 subs have the spider on them but they are loud as hell for $260 for a 15" 1000 rms

I second these choices, especially the 1 15" sub in a ported box, it will take up about as much room as 2 12's or a little more but will hit so much harder with less power required to move it compared to getting 2 12's moveing the the same volume. ------------- 2003 Chevy Avalanche,Eclipse CD7000,Morel Elate 5,Adire Extremis,Alpine PDX-4.150, 15" TC-3000, 2 Alpine PDX-1.1000, 470Amp HO Alt.
