First off i just to start by saying hello to everyone here at the ssa community. My name is Tommy and i have been studying these forums for some time now. I have a minor question upon my entering the community, i did not want to place this in the wrong place considering this is my first post. Well here goes *shoot* Looking for the best 12 inch subwoofer + box for under 200$. Will run off of a 1000 watt Sony Xplod XM1652z ( It's all ive got for right now and i plan to replace it real soon, i know of all the bad terrible things but it was given to me for free). I listen to a lot of dub step/techno. The Pioneer TS-W302R 12 and sealed box i bought of my buddy for kicks and giggles just doesn't hit the lows at all. I want something with good all around range ( as dumb as that sounds.)Running some songs through a signal analyzer shows the primary bass frequencies being between 35 and 55 hz, as low as 31 and as high as 67. As far as i know the only box that would give me good output across is a band that wide is going to be a bandpass box. I have about 4 by 4 feet to work with in the trunk. My buddy has been trying to talk me into a couple Rockford Fosgate's and Alpines but im not to sure how much knowledge he really has. I don't need the best sound system just something that will thump. Any info would be awesome. Thanks

Quick question used the search tool couldn't find anything on it. When tuning my sub and amp should i keep the bass on my head unit at 0 or should i adjust it accordingly. Turning the bass on the head up won't blow anything will it? Btw working on the box with a buddy and its coming out sick.

welcome!! ...hot songs ... and pictures of the box or you lose credit and die! lol will do.

This dub-step. Back on track. I have heard pioneer's in a ported setup before and i was not impressed. Although i am going to take your guys advice and build the box myself this week. If i don't like the sound i'll buy another sub. In case i don't like it at the very least it is always nice to have an idea of what i would be looking to buy. I appreciate your input my friends.

May sound bad but honestly i really want a new sub! I am for sure going to build my own ported box just need some help on a good sub for 75 to 150$.
