Thanks ranger02_4x4. Since your the only one that's actualy answered my questions instead of telling me "get this" or "get that" or look at this site bla bla bla.
I think I've made up my mind. Gonna go with the pioneer sub I posted and the pioneer amp I posted. I'll make my own box. How thick of MDF should I use, 1/2"? What all will I need too, 4ga ground wire, 4ga positive with a fuse, 10ga speaker wire and then my rca cables? Is that all I need, correct wire size ect.?

i have real experience and have warranteed more pioneers and sony's than anyone else on this board. upwards of 150-200 in the last 6 years. i have rarely had any problems with kenwood. like i said they are great budget amps that get the job done and have excellent R&D behind them. you SHOULD take advice from someone who doesnt have any brand bias like myself. if you asked me for an amp in a different cost class i would recommend the best for your dollar as well. honestly i service Dual amps less than Pioneer. that says alot. SO OBVIOUSLY I HAVE THE DAY TO DAY EXPERIENCE TO BACK UP MY CLAIMS, thank you have a nice day.

Around the audio shops ive hung around, they all recommend NOT buyin kenwood, as they overheat easily. I have experianced this as well.
Personally, I believe you get what you pay for. I honestly would hold off and not be limited on price.

Well, I'm not really limited on price it's just I'm savin up for a newer ranger or a new atv, I could spend a lot of money, it's just I don't want to. I'm gettin that sub no matter what because it's mounting depth, as I don't have much space for it. Haven't bought either yet so...I guess you guys can suggest some amps, under $150 with shipping.
And can someone answer my questions about the install and all that stuff I asked in my above post?

How much louder would one of those subs in 12" be than 10"? Cause the 12 can handle 100 more rms watts, but it requires a slightly bigger box. After puttin my bro's old Kenwood typhoon or somethin in his car with a ****ty box, that 12 is way louder than his 10" visonic on the same amp. So yeah...how much louder would the 12 be than the 10?

Actualy, I thought about it and decdided that I'll just go with the 10" because I would have to get a more powerful amp for the 12" and that will cost more money. And for that 12" kenwood tornado, yes it was an old ****ty tornado lol, that box was so terrible, it was a box made for 2 subs I cut in half and put and end on, the port was just where the handle WAS in the side and I took a piece of 1/8 stuff and screwed it on over the "port" lol. It leaked in a few spots too cause it wasn't glued or anything.
Oh, it was my friends car we put that sub in, not my bro's.
