Depends on your budget really, I've got JL Audio subs/amps/components myself but it all depends on whether you want to "blow the bloody doors off!" :lol:

Not sure if that'll fit in a C2 but you should be able to pick it up for £200 or less if you shop about (dont quote me but I have seen them for £150 at a couple of car shows)- doesn't sound too bad either, but its bloody heavy :lol: .

ive already got a 1300w amp and i was looking at pairing it with 2 pioneer 1200w (400rms) subs do you reckon this would be ok as i have heard these before and they tickled my fancy and the are within my budget

I'll be honest and think you should ask at a car audio specialist shop near where you are, (don't go to halfords, they're pretty useless when it comes to any technical stuff and will just read whats on the side of the box) and tell them what you want to do with what you've got/want to get and they should advise you on whether it'll work properly.

If they look a bit dim, turn round and walk out and I'll give you the number of who I know will be honest with you.

Or provide a link to the sub and amp you have and I'm sure someone on here will be able to tell you, as although I used to be involved in the Car Audio Scene I never really did much tech stuff when it comes to installs.

I've got a nakamichi amp going spare, you'll get 350watts to the sub and 100 to the speakers, its a very decent amp!

I have a full Rockford system and it playes very well and clarity is good. But everyone have there own taste. JL is also very good, the subs is great and hard working. But for clarity I would say the best ever made is DLS audio speakers. And the price is not bad at all. But the sart of all sound systems is a good head unit. Will go with ALpine, Rockford, Kenwood, Pioneer and Clarion. Good luck mate and keep it real. Lol

Anything jbl.
Best subs are JBL in my opinion, i mean take its real name for example, Just Bloody Loud ;) hahaha

ive got a FLI 2000 watt 12" twin active sub atm, its good, built in 500w amp too, but sonehow the amp went faulty so i sebt it back and awaiting for it returned, as my sub started making really weird noises, they said they have fixed it anyways

or even try that fusion sub James May had in top gear the other week lol
