Re: help choosing best subs
i am going to put an external gain **** on the dash of my car. so when the music style changes you can change it for what you like. I am also going to put an amp shut off switch on the dash to prevent getting noise pollution tickets LOL

I would suggest an EQ it will help to change the sound for different kinds of music and will have a switch to shut off for the base when the cops roll up, I have an EQ and the remote bass **** in my third gen and they both help alot when different basses come on.

Re: help choosing best subs
I have n 86 camaro that hit 148db at a db drag. I also listen to the same types of music. I have my MECP listens which stands for "Mobil Electronic Certified Professional" and I had two solobaric L7's in a camaro box that I bought off of ebay for like 50 bucks that fits right in the back and looks awesome. Of course though if you go with a louder sub your goung to have to seal the box ETREAMLY GOOD extra screws and a liquid sealent. I also and a DA Amp that was 2000 watts at a half ohm stable! This setup in my car rocked and often gave me heart palputations when i listened to it for a long period. As for Rockford really stay with the power series or the p3's or even the Hx2 they'll all give you great bass with the right amp.
