Ok well that's great to know, even though for some reason pioneer warrantied my deck, even though sonicelectronix told me it wouldn't be warrantied by pioneer.

Ok can anyone please give me a more detailed path.

I am looking for 2 12" or 1 12". That together with the amp would be less then 400$ but would out perform my current setup by far. With being a lot louder but also better sound quality.

I am looking at soundsplinter's website and they have good prices, but i have no idea how they perform... Looking at online reviews really doesn't help because i can mostly just find people typing in caps how they are by far the best investment, they have ever spent money on... Figures considering it's the interwebz and it is all seriouzzzinizz!! LOL

Honestly I have heard many systems and most of the ones that amaze me are small subs but a great box. I guess you can label me as a spl kid that doesn't care much about sq but considering that i listen to rock when it comes to a big blur that's what makes me want to turn it down...

The dual DA D312 really looks good to me, but also one 12 sound splinter looks great too. I am stuck.

If i go dual i will build a general box tuned and such, but if i go with a single on, i will build a box to seal the sub to the cabin and port in the trunk, basically just to increase space in the trunk, and to have a more stock looking setup(I love hidden subs).

How much to Mojo 12" m3 run for or atleast how much should they, or should i even be considering this sub?

Sorry for all the questions, but i can't just seem to find the right setup for me without listening to them and the local car audio shops are only accessable when i am working, which sorta makes it really hard to go listen.

Thanks for anymore help, I am back to searching the web for a good setup

Best suggestion would be to buy from an authorized dealer... Most of your online stores may say that they are authorized for this or that when they really aren't because the manufacturer does not allow online web sales and some do allow, but not listed at that low a pricing... What does this mean? It means that you get No factory warranty on any of the products you buy.

Well i do have a 100amp alternator in my car from a bigger 7 series bmw. No matter how much i turn up my sub or increase the gain my protection light never comes on like it used to when i had the stock alternator. I will look at the other sub brands, anyone have any other suggestions other then sonicelectronix.com to look for subs, i once thought cardomain had a limited selection now after reading up on subs, i think sonicelectronix has a very limited selection and car domain is too much of a hassle to even type in. Also I don't listen to much rap basically Techno and a mix of rock, so i will still want some sound quality

I would suggest a different choice in amp also... The MA will produce the power, but they are very power hungry and will jump into protect quick if they don't get it... I would suggest Massive Audio, Autotek, or even Crunch for good solid power.
Also the addition of Massive Audio subs to the list mentioned above.

hahah yea WolfPack Audio Sub... That sucker will take anything you throw at it. But def +1 for all the above suggestions... with an addition of Bravox and Eclipse Titanium series

wp audio? lawlz

Also consider Fi Car Audio, Ascendant Audio, Sound Splinter and TC Sounds, among others. You'll get the low bass you're looking for if you port and tune low.

Thanks for the welcome, I was currently looking at upgrading to a Diamond Audio D6 12" With a MA M1889I, It will be overpowering the sub by 200watts rms. But i figure if it's built like my MTX it can stand being over powered by tons, i have hooked up a mtx amp with 800rms and it still hit very good with the same sound quality. Input is welcome, I am looking for a sub and amp worth the money that cost less then 350$, with building my own box
