best subwoofer to get
sorry if this has been covered but I had 2 12inch Rockford Fosegate subwoofers in my trunk...one blew...replaced it. The other one blew....kept the other one in and now that one blew. So needless to say I'm not a fan of Rockford Fosegate now. Any recomendations on what kind i should get now?

Might want to address the issue causing your subs to blow before sinking more money into the woofers.
What amp are you running for the subs? What are the specs on it?

The hot trend right now, and subs can be trendy, is the Alpine Type R. It's fairly inexpensive, has good sound quality (not great, but very good), hits hard and doesn't require massive amounts of power; 300 - 500 watts will certainly be enough to do it justice. The Caraudio.com forum is an amazing resource.

i had the infinity 10.1d 350rms, blew 2 of them, not sure if it was b/c i had 420rms going to them but now have the alpine type r, its hit but its not as loud as the infinity, seems like it can really use all 500rms it says it can handle.

I would step back a second and think what exactly you want ot acheive with your system (SQ or SPL) and then take a look at the amp. Maybe upgrading the amp and then going with the Alpine Type-R's as mentioned above would be a good route for a solid and rather inexpensive setup

The jack hammer wouldn't fit in the trunk without a box That bad boy is huge!
I say turn down your gain! If you're running 12" fosgates in to the ground, you must be killing your ears! Blowing a 10" speaker every once in a while is one thing, but consistantly blowing 12s means that you are way too def to know the difference between loud and really fkn loud.
