im thinking of buying a pioneer ts-w308d4 12" sub but im wondering if its worth the extra money getting a pioneer ts-w3002d2? my HU in a pioneer AVH-P4050DVD and from another thread i saw on search they said to not worry about rear speakers and just have a good sub and some good 6.5 splits in the front, also im wondering what amp you would suggest for either of these subs as i dont know much about subs, should i just get one good amp to run the sub and 6.5 splits?

thanks

what fronts are you running?

... and what amp/how much power will you be giving the sub?
How much is the Pioneer and what is your budget?

Personally I'd be looking at other brands. It doesn't need to match your headunit brand.

didn't realize i had reply's haha. i was going to get a jl sub but the one i was going to get for a good price got sold. the setup im pretty sure im getting is MB Quart PVI216 6.5 splits, pioneer TS-W3002D2 12" 1000rms sub, JL Audio J2 1000.1 Mono D Class Amplifier 1000W RMS and JL Audio A2150 2-Channel. all i need to do now is order them and choose a wiring kit

thanks for your help

edit oh and the pioneer sub is $140 http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/New-P...fAudioQ5fVideo
im going to run it at 1ohm, 1000 watts with the jl amp

my setup is $1600 so far including shipping

so i guess this is a good setup then? im getting a jl wiring kit aswell, will i need a bigger battery or anything?

Why don't you ask the people you are puchasing this off for advice?

Check the 'beginners' section if you have questions like "will i need a bigger battery" etc.
Spend a few days on there researching. It will possibly save you hundreds of dollars.

Case in point:
Damo the sound quality difference between a Focal sub and a JL sub couldn't possibly be too huge. In fact the difference in SQ - particularly for a sub rather than your other speakers - may be not worth the hassle and money spent on finding a buyer for the Focal, finding and purchasing getting your JL, chucking it in the best box/building the best box you can and powering it sufficiently. At least it may not be worth it to your ears.

If you're wanting to go louder though, that's another thing entirely...
