Dont know much about bass

Asking this question is like asking someone what the perfect girl is - you're gonna get 100's of different answers, and you won't agree with half of them.

In my GC, I'm running JL amps and a JL sub. In the Tahoe I'm running MTX Sub with an Orion Cobalt amp. Truth is if you're just looking for low end fill and not planning on entering competitions, buy what you can afford. As long as it's a name brand, you'll be fine.

Eagle bring up a very valid point though - depends on how big a box you want too.

How much can you spend exactly? What is the most popular genre?

Narrows things down to the best bang for your buck. There is a lot out there just have to know what your looking for.

+1 we need to know what to listen to, it all depends on what and how much you need. I absolutely love my kicker solo classics for rock, metal, hip hop, pretty much everything sounds good in a sealed box with quality speakers.

Put the mainstream stuff to bed and get some quality stuff out of the guys over there.

there is absolutely nothing wrong with mainstream, if so we wouldn't be buying GM. While smaller operations may make decent stuff, I have seen over my years, most don't have the R&D staff, or logivity as some of the mainstream. Many smaller operations come in like a bandit for a year or so, and go under. Decent ones survive...

There is nothing wrong with mainstream.

Its all magnets, cones, coils, and baskets. Its who does what with it all.

Nothing wrong with mainstream I agree. Its convenient.

 

[blueflamed03]

true, usually mainstream companies pioneer what smaller ones buy off the shelf later.
Most smaller operations just pull baskets, spiders, amp boards off the shelf, change a thing or two and slap a label on it.
