Decent pair of 12's and sub setup?
I've got a box for 2 12's that came with my '85 T/A. I've since sold that car, but I kept the box. I'm not much for bassin', but I need some more oomph now. I don't really care for it to be THE BEST, but I'd like to know your opinnions on a decent pair of 12's and a nice/cheap amp?

go to sounddomain and do the pricematch for ikesound with 2 Kicker CVR12-4s and a Rockford Fosgate Punch 501S
CVR12s $150
Punch 501s $169
so $319 instead of $530 and they have free shipping. Those subs and that amp should pound real nice for just over 300 bones...

I heard almost that exact setup at a runner for a radio station around here. It was pretty decent. Think they got better stuff a few weeks later tho...

You never said what size the box was, and whether it was sealed or ported. THis makes a big difference if you plan to get good sound quality. Just buying subs and tossing them into a pre-made box is sort of like a crap shoot. If you get lucky enough to buy a sub that's ideal for the box you have, then great. If not, it won't sound as good as it should.
Anyway, let's assume the box is a 1.5 cubic foot sealed box, which isn't terribly uncommon for thirdgen boxes. If so, a sub like the Adire Shiva would be a great match, and will provide fantastic sound quality.

I put a pic of the box in my page.

From what I can tell it's most likely made out of wood (it's damned heavy) and it's enclosed.

A picture of a box doesn't tell me what size it is, plus I'm not fishing through a half dozen pages of pics to find it.
You need to measure it and figure out what internal volume it has so that you know what you're dealing with.

Do you happen to have any prices on the subs and amps or a place to find 'em?
