Help me choose a sub...for me
My amp has the following stats:
RMS Power Output: 90W x 2 @ 2 Ohm
Peak Power Output: 180W x 2 @ 2 Ohm
Birdged Output: 400W x 1 @ 4 Ohm
I need to find a good sub to match
I want as small a box as possible
should I go with one 8's, 10's, or 12's?
2 subs or 1?
I listen mostly to bass heavy music (rap, reggae) but I still want clean bass
I want to spend under $100 (for just the sub)

P:S Dont go for a setup that in the future you will regret and want to change.. Save time and do everything all at once.. BTW, you live in West Palm FL? Live in Broward, I'll help you install whenever. Let me Know

I would atleast get a better amp and like a sub that either will be the same brand as the amp, or a sub perfectly suitable for the amp. Also remember that if you want to feel bass, that AMP isnt going to help all that much. If you want, I'll do a little look up for you for a good combination. Good Luck

Maybe I can use the amp to power some components?

I'm really leaning towards the Alpine Type R, but it seems to be an SPL sub, but I'd prefer an SQ application. I read somewhere that the type of box I use with it could make it more of an SQ sub.
Thoughts?
(by the way, I'm leaning towards a 10 inch rather than a 12 inch)

yeah, the box will make or break a setup, if you want SQ go with just a plain sealed box
