    Default Recommend me some good subs.

    Ok so i have had my vy ss for a couple of months now and want to start putting the audio system in it.
    I have all wiring which i removed from my old car and have one 4 channel amp and one mono amp which are these ones
    Hifonics BXi1610D - Monoblock Car Amplifier, Power Amp - Sonic Electronix
    Hifonics ZXi6410 - 4 Channel Amplifier | Four Channel Amp - Sonic Electronix

    now the sub i had in my old car was a hifonics olympus dual 2ohm sub wired at 1ohm, but i want to change to 2 dual 4ohm subs so they can also be wired at 1ohm.

    so i just want to get some opinions on what are some good subs to match my amp, im probably more after sound quality than spl.

    +1 for the Vibe Spaces. I feel like I'm always talking them up, but they are worth it

    10's, 12's, dosen't matter much really. In fact in a vehicle the size of a Commodore, unless it's a very high end subwoofer, about the only difference you would notice is a variation in output due to overall cone surface area.

    You didn't mention a budget? There's good subs to be had in just about every price bracket, but more important is the setup, the enclosure , and the tuning.

    Something else to consider, is that if you after SQ overall, then a single sub is usually the better option. When you buy 2 subs, your buying 2 subs of the same quality. If the quality of one doesen't meet your needs / expectations, then simply adding more of them does not solve the problem.
