i think everyone goes through there cheap car audio phase... some spend more on the mistake than others... do it right the first time and you will be happy. DO NOT buy dual. do not buy dual. DO nOT by dual. dont buy dual. you will regret buying dual.

Def don't by MA. I'm sorry I've heard MA's and they sounded like crap. Even though the kid that had them, they were 15"s pushed by a crappy amp. I have always had MTX and love them. But people have different opinions.

don't buy kicker!?! are you serious?? kickers are amazing! i've never had any problems with them at all, i've heard them in sealed and ported enclosures. tons of different models and sizes, i'ld recomend them to anyone.

MA have never given me any trouble, 'course i build some pretty amazing boxes too haha.

same with audiobahn, never any problems.

ever heard the alpine type x'??? and btw, jl and MTX are pretty ****** awesome

The MAs were some of the worst subs i ever owned.
Kicker subs are not good. there just not, IMO they sound dead and muddy as all hell.

i have not heard the type Xs in person.

well it depends on what model MA you had. if you get the cheap ass models of coarse they're gonna sound shitty. i've heard pretty much every model of kicker and i've never been disappointed with them. same with alpine

the duals are POSs. the first one is a bazooka and actually hit pretty damn good. my uncle used to run and is recommended if you want good cheap bass.

I've had my kickers for 2 1/2 years now and still going strong... Be sure to get a good quality amp to power your subs also.. or else you could risk blowing them as well..
