Sound quality is subjective. Any of those subs will sound good. If you are pressed for space, the SD is a good option or maybe a sealed enclosure. You really haven't provided any goals or a game plan so its hard to help you. If you say "I want two subs, 10s or 12s, I want to keep the amp around 1k watts and I have 2 cubic feet to work with, we can probably get you on the right path. At this point you're just asking for a sub that sounds good but a lot of subs fit that bill.

Bro, just buy what you want. Nobody one here can tell you what to buy because it's your cash.
I can tell you that is a pretty ****** amp though and just a decent sub. If you do not have all the $$$$ for the system right now you are better delaying it and saving up for a bit more and doing it right the first time.

Honestly after highschool I'll be looking into w7's

Sorry about the confusion I was crazy for thinking I could get a nice clean set-up for cheap so I'm going to be running this what I originally wanted.

Don't get the w7. For an $800-1k sub, you can buy two very nice subs or one that will shiet on the w7. And its been proven in many tests. Maybe if you can get it used it would be worth it. Don't get me wrong, the w7 is a nice sub but not worth what they retail for. If you can find one off CL for maybe $250-350, I'd get it. I see them for sale all the time. Anymore and you can buy a new sub like what I have, Havoc, that will blow that sub out of the water and handle twice the power.

Not bad. If you want a Rockford get a punch series instead. Those prime amps aren't anything special. Maybe even a kicker amp. I had one pushing a 12 for five years and it worked fine. Or if you can find a cheap Audioque amp, those are nice and run efficient. JL makes great amps. Maybe a 500/1 or 750/1. I see them for sale all the time on CL. You can get the 500 for maybe $150-200 used.

Check out the subs on soundsolutionsaudio.com. Any of the subs there that fit your budget would be great picks.

I'm not sure. You'll have to check the specs and required airspace of the sub you choose. If you build the box with a lot of height, like as high as the top of the third row, you can get a lot of airspace out of your box. I remember one member here had two JL W3s in the third row. They sell boxes on eBay that fit perfect back there too. Or there's a box that fits between the captains seats, if you have them.

They are but unless you want to spend $300-400 on a custom box, its the next best option. It seems like you're on a budget. Unless you're handy enough to build your own box. You can buy a set of plans for $30.

Alright well most likely I'll get it for my birthday to try it out because then I'll have the car and everything or I can just have a shop replicate it for cheap

Go on caraudio.com and look at Dc creations. He seems to do good work to build boxes or buck if you want plans.

DC and Buck are good. I got mine from mobile enclosures. Actually he did the design and a local guy built it. Cost me $300 picked up but they did a great job and my sub kills the lows. There's another guy named Dave the box guy that does good work too and his prices aren't bad. I think he quoted me $225 shipped. Contact them and give them the sub, amp and dimensions you are working with and they'll build you a nice box.

I'm going to buy a new one from buck pretty soon since he's like 2 hours away. He builds if you want him too.
