should i keep these or go with something different

[2000GPGT 0]

right now i have two 12" eclipse sw7200 subs, i had a rockford p600.2 pushing them and i kno thats nowhere near the output they handle but i got them both in a deal... i sold the amp and i am wondering if i should sell the subs as well to get something different... ive been looking into the ssa icons and the fi q's... im not looking for ridiculous bass... however i want something that can get respectably loud and have excellent sq, something that can hit the lows and sound good doing it.. i was looking at these two brands because from what i hear on this forum they work well on both ends of the spectrum (so to say) they are gonna be powered by a aq1200 amp and also its goin into a bimmer cuz i no longer have the GPGT so a name change is in order... oh yea i am looking at only one sub if i do sell the sw7200's...

You can have a 15" sub ported in your trunk. You got room!

I'd also say a 15" q or icon. I think you would be happy with either one and they would like that power in a good ported box.

Get a box first

Get a box first

What? Get a sub, then make a box to fit your sub. Of course you'll need to make sure a box for the sub you choose will fit in your trunk.

Box for the subs he has now

OP, what don't you like about the subs you have now? what kind of box are they in?

Dudes are so quick to tell him to buy a new sub without finding out why he doesn't like what he currently has.

Good point, I am guilty of this myself. I guess I like shopping with other peoples money. lol

i know the eclipses are pretty decent and i understand completely that they werent at full potential when they were hooked up... im just looking to go to one sub as i use my trunk for other things as well (basketball, basketball shoes, roller skates [yes i roller skate, note: i said skate not blade] car supplies, and tools) i want to try something new and ive heard good things about the icons... if you have any other brands in mind to think of thats good with sq and can get decently loud let me know

also first and foremost i am upgrading the front stage setup and would like to know also what are some decent 5 1/4" speakers brands to go with and i know the rears are 4" but im converting them to 6x9's... im not looking to spend a boat load but i dont wanna go the cheap route either and get shitty speakers

The icons are great subs and you would not be disappointed with that choice.

I would suggest you to measure your mounting depth up front. If you can get a nice 6.5" component set up there even if you used a MDF ring adapter you would have more potential for better sound. (ie midbass) Also, I would skip the rears all together and put that money into deadening and sealing your front doors. In the end you will be glad you did and you wont even miss the rears if you do it right up front.

What car do you have? Are you going to amp your front components?

92 bmw 325is 5 speed and the way the speakers are set up i actually hear more sound from behind me... the front speakers are right next to my feet so it kinda sucks for sound, the mids and tweeters are in the door panel so that helps a little... this is why i was asking for some brands that had good 6x9s i was thinkin mb quart but they are kinda expensive at the time... and yes i will be powering my front stage with an amp.. more than likely im gonna go with audioque for the amp
