I made up my mind (sort of)
Kicker TCVT122 (10TCVT122)Compact Single 12" 2 ohm Comp VT
Has anyone used this box before?how is the bass?also i read that you should use a amp 75-90% of the subwoofer rms. I also read that you should use a amp with more rms (ex.100rms sub/150rms amp)which is the correct info?

you always want the amp to have the same if not more power than the sub can handle in order to send it a good clean signal. it doesnt necessarily hurt the sub to run it at less power but many mistake the gain knob for a volume knob and will send a clipped signal to the sub resulting in failure. if you have a 300 watt sub and 300 watt amp you should be ok though. not sure on the ratings on that cvt but in a sealed enclosure you can run a little bit more power without hurting anything.

my son had one 12" CVT, ran 420 watts to it, perfect!

bazooka's arent worth the $ they are very poor quality subwoofers with low powered amp, you can get pre fab boxes loaded with subs and sometimes even an amp for dirt cheap nowadays, check http://www.crutchfield.com they always got scorchin deals and are extremely reputable, i get all my stuff from them <5 stars>
