    Pffft thats an easy one. You want loud, DD 1512a, RRP $359. I hope you have the Jaycar with at least a kw of power to make it really move though

    I can e-mail you the proper box specs if you wish for a 40 and 45Hz ported tune and also the details of FHRX studios which will give you 10% off RRP.

    Anything else you want to know?

    If you want something else ill see what else I can find, Oz Audio Vertor 12.3 should do the job as well, they are only RRP$299 or the Treo TSi 12 at the same price, both will not handle the power that the DD can though...

    Have a look at this, it is a list I did of all the possible subs of that size that I could find and there $RRP.

    Give Precision a Call - They stock a lot of good brands, George knows his stuff. Say that Don from the vwwatercooled forums told you to see him

    Have a budget ready and everything else required and it should be easy peasy He will find you something around the budget that will suit your requirements.

    The number is 9547 1574 and they are located at Carlton right near Hurstville.

    I have always been extremely happy with George's advice and as you can see I am a loyal customer because of this.

    Georgy, lol he is a funny bloke. He seems to like blowing up Boston 10.5lf's. The only problem with precision is they don't stock a lot of brands. In that price bracket and loud, they only have the Alpine Type R, Boston G2 and stock Eclipse, Nakamachi, Rainbow. All nice gear but $$$ to get loud.

    If you want a custom install, I would only go to see or George at Precision or Marty at FRHX. Mention me at Precision and he will probably slap you, mention me at FHRX and you will get 10% off

    So far it would have to be:
    DD 1512
    Treo TSi
    OZ Vector 12.3
    Hertz ES300.3 ( NEW )
    PPI PCX 124

    For loud, booming bass. If it was SQ, there are lots more options.

    Worth giving Precision a call anyway given they do stock other products. A good sub with a good enclosure has the ability to generate a lot of noise

    Lawl, he blew up what now? Didn't seem to hate my 10.5lf too much

    I'm sorry dude but loud = DD. Just picture it this way, the entry 512 which is under $250 will handle 750WRMS I think someone used 2 of them and hit 145db. Not bad for entry level. My Oz ME is great value for money, 140oz magnet for $500 but its bit up from your budget hence why I suggested the Vector series. The Treo and Crossfire gear always gets up and boogies. Boston and Hertz subs will sound great, but not loud in comparison. Another thing that will determine what you get is available coil configurations. If you want loud you will need to run your Jaycar @ 1ohm, if the single sub is not able to at least get to a single 2ohm then its not worth looking at.

    You should look at what 4 of the OZ ME can do a smallish golf sized car:
