Get JL Audio W0 subs. They're cheap and hit hard and accurate.

ohya, ohter info... if it matters at all
i have a pioneer head unit, 2 clairion 4 inch speakers in the front with removeable tweaters (i mounted them between the 2 front seats, infront of the storage box and behind the shifter, it looks really good!) and 2 MB Quart 6 by 9's in the back. maybe some of you audio geniuses could predict what would sound best with that setup.

Thats a terrible spot for the tweeters. It may look good, but it won't sound right. High frequencies are very directional. For the front soundstage to image correctly, the tweeters should be in front of you and aimed at your head.

they are still infront of me a little, and it does sound like its coming from infront of me by the way i have all of the levels set up and junk like that, there are a few songs that you can hear them more than others. really the only way that someone would realize that they are even putting out sound is if you put your ear right on them, then you can really hear them

my Alpine TypeR 10s were $105 each from Ikesound.com. I haven't had the chance to install them yet, so i really can't tell you how i personally like them.. I listened to them at circuit city and they are superb.
