the punch stage 1's arent that liked and not something much. Id say go with some alpine's. just go to circuit city or best buy have a guy help you out listen to all the different ones and pick it depending on what you enjoy.

dont limit yourself to Best buy or Circuit City. they dont carry many good brands...there's got to be an audio shop in your town?


Planet Audio, Audiobahn, Memphis, Boston Acoustics are just a few that those stores do not carry

Ok guys keep in mind the power he's pushing here, "380 Watts x 1, at 4 ohms BRIDGE " per CEA ratings. He needs subs that run 150w rms, no more than 300w max. Personally I would find an audio shop. Ask them what would work best. Keep in mind it is ultimately your choice, if you are coming here to find a definate answer of whats best without having a couple that that you have in mind. Good luck, you'll hear every suggestion from audiobahn to Image dynamics.

Personally with a "budget" amp like that the rockfords wouldn't be that bad. But i'd look at P1 8ohm not P2's. Also look at JL W0's, very efficient subs which give great sound and are very forgiving. The Kicker comps(not vr for that power) are good, but i wouldn't trust that amp on them.

The amp you have is good for the buy one, get one free, type subs. DVC's and high power subs won't work correctly and will not last long no matter how good they are. In other words buy cheap and plan to buy often if you are gonna hammer em hard.
