you can change your subs and it may help a little, but you should first check your box, is it big enough or too small? there are many factors to look into before spending on higher priced equipment.

but.. to answer your question

DC Audio
Cactus sounds MK1
Hifonics or Crunch
Atomic APX
that's just off the top of my head. I'm sure others will chime in.

I love my Sundown Nightshades. Check them out at sundownaudio.com, or email Jacob at sundownz@sundownaudio.com and he can point you in the right direction on getting some of them. The Nightshade 12 is a 60 pound sub with some serious bass potential. You can see what mine are cabable in my sig. I would love to do 2 more in my car, but I'm lacking a little bit in room.

X2, but more power and better subs would do alot to help.

Check out Incriminator Audio.

The Lethal 12s will jam pretty good on just 500 watts. A buddy of mine ran 4 of the older style Lethal Injections in his Tahoe on a jbl 1200.1 I believe and he couldn't keep the side glass in that thing. I tested a pair vs a pair of DD 9910s in my old street A setup, and they were only around .7 down...not a big difference when you are comparing a mid level driver with a top of the line spl driver

I agree with Justin. You need a efficient sub with a larger motor than the PR.

Most all these subs listed will not make you louder off of the amps you have now.

A re se, DC lvl 3, crunch groundpounder, and the like would do you well.

On the people saying you need to work on the enclosure, it sounds like its doing a good job. 153 off of 3k and some PRs is good.

Glad to know i built a decent enclosure.I can probly get another .5 out of it by doing resin and flareing the port.I was told the crunch GP's were on the same level as the pr's.has any one ever done a test between the two?
