I have a 2door pontiac sunfire and i have put in a sony cdx-4180 i know its old but its a solid deck for now it runs the stock speakers, and sends a signal to a 200 w VR3 amp powering 2 roadmaster 8" subs roadmaster enclosures. I hope to change this so far i have audiobahn 5.25" component sets for the doors and 5.25" sony coaxials for the rear deck and a 400w 4ch VR3 amp to power them i would like a decent sub to add to this system I asked a friend and they said a decent powered 15" would work well b/c i listen to Rap, rock, metal, country, pop, hip hop, and r&b. I want something cheap i don't have much for cash right now! and i can build my own box for the sub. but if some one could recommend a good sub and amp combo for my criteria that would be great ? i personally like a pair of JL audio 10wo's that a friend lent me for a while since he had no trunk space to pack his stuff for college.
P.S. I prefer to have a sealed box!! , doe anyone know if Fs is really relevant for me ? b/c i've been searching all over and can't find a decent prices speaker that doesn't have a high Fs

rattles suck lets hear your system
If money is a big issue then I'm going to suggest Infinity Pefects. They can be had for quite cheap right now and are a great sub. I had 2 12's in my jeep in a sealed box and they were great. One would add considerable punch and two should be more than loud enough given decent power. They prefer a sealed box I think actually. One option to consider.
id say stick with your pair of 8" that you have now and mount them to your rear deck or some other means so they are firing off of your rear windshield. I was at a car show last friday and there was a firebird that had 3 8" JL subs firing off the rear glass and it hit 150-something DBs in a sealed box.
