I need help deciding on subwoofers, I NEED THUMP IN MY TRUNK Options

[chrisbf429]

So i've got two basic choices for my subwoofers! Either i get ONE alpine type R 12 inch sub that goes for about $100 or i get 2 Kenwood 12" subs for $45 bucks each. What should i do??? Any other ideas? my budget is around $100 for the subs so try to keep it in that range... Thank you!

JL and Diamond are both out of most people's price ranges, not to mention brands like Rainbow which most people wont ever see or hear any type of system that will sound as clean. Alpine makes pretty decent stuff for the average consumer, as does Fosgate. Alpine is a lot cleaner than Fosgate is, especially if you get their PDX digital stuff, but overall you get what you pay for with electronics.
As for Best Buy install bays, just like any shop that works on cars, you have to take each shop individually. I managed a Best Buy bay for a while and we were all MECP silver or higher. We have only a couple of carfi shops in the whole state that i would say are even decent, but i wouldnt put the Best Buy bay i managed anywhere near the bottom of the list.
