Ok heres the deal, im going to be purchasing 2 10" Dayton HO's to run in the NNBS crewcab subthump box.
What would be a good amp to push these subs? Im relatively new to car audio, so any input would be great. Lookin to spend around $300 give or take on an amp.
I listen to a lot of different music, Rap, rock, country etc. Im looking for good SQ but i also dont want to be let down by the loudness. (grammar > me) haha
Im open to any opinions on other drivers as well, because i havent purchased anything yet. Maybe dayton 12's would be better??
Available Air Space: .83 cu.ft per sub
Thanks in advance

Sub bass is Sub bass. Just put recommended power to them that fits your budget.
An Audioque 2200 will give you power at 2 ohms and will be flexible for any changes you decide to make within that power. Its $389 on the site but you would have a very nice amp.

I worked for a cabinet shop for a few years and built quite a few sub boxes in the past, so im definately capeable of fabbing somethin up. But i have no idea where to start to get the most out of these subs.
Any input??

.6-.7 ported per sub, and those babies will hold a very nice SQ, yet they're still quite loud. I've had a 10" in enclosures from .3 to 1.1 ft^3, and it's performed great in all.
My vote: Build your own. :read:

ported huh??
Alright, im sure i could do it. Im just not sure how to build ported enclosures. As far as port length/width, placement??? thats where i get lost. Its not the hands on labor im worried about, but designing the box to the proper specs.
