New Sub, any suggestions?

Hey all, well my sub blew recently and I'm now looking for a new one that can stand up to my amp ( JBL BP 1200.1 ).

Does anyone know of a good 10" sub that can handle 600W @ 4 Ohms or 1200@2? I was thinking about a JL or an RF Power Stage 2 although both are quite expensive.

Do you know of any good ones that can keep up with those power ratings?

The RF 10's (punch 2 or punch3) can both handle the power you're looking at. I get a discount on stereo equipment where I work and if you're interested and willing to pay the shipping for it I can check what my price would be.

Doesn't anyone have any suggestions?

theres lots of subs that can handle that. how much do you want to spend? fyi, bp1200's are stable to 1 ohm if theyre not mounted in a position where they can overheat.

don't get RF. don't don't don't.

their new line is kinda crappy.

JL w7...BOOM

Get Either Two 12" L5's Or L7's, Or Two 10" L5's Or L7's. They Sound Really Good With A Pheonix Gold 1200.1 Amp. I HAVE THEM IN MY TUNDRA AND THEY SOUND AWSOME. I CAN GET A SET OF TWO 12" L5'S FOR $400

Since you went with a mid-range amp are you looking for mid-range subs as well? What did you have in there before and why did you blow them? How much are you looking to spend?

how much money you have on subs

I beg to differ on the RF's. They may not be the best, but they're damn good in the car.

Thanks everyone for your suggestions. I'm looking to spend between $200 and $300 for a "good" sub. I know that you can get higher quality, higher priced units so I don't want a top of the line speaker but I rather something just below that mark (maybe last year's model) that can give me good sound consistently through the various types of music I listen to (e.g. Rap, rock, dance, etc.) where the bass can be "muddy" or crisp.

The sub that I had before was a Polk/Momo MM2104 that was rated at 300W RMS at 4 Ohms. I didn't set the gains properly and hadn't finished the break in period before I turned the volume up.

it's all about crossfire or kicker (i like crossfire better tho)

was gonna get me a 12 inch RF punch sub that cost like 75 bucks... but when i was testing and comparing it with a 12 inch 300 watt pioneer sub (69 bucks) in a band pass box at best buys.. the pioneer had good bass clarity and feedback... if your bent on RF punch, you'll need the one that costs like $ 250 for one sub only

concord - how old are yours?

I got ONE kicker 12" L7 powered by 700watt amp...and it's LOOOOOOUD. It's 1500watts max so I'm sure it can handle that amp. I would recommend this sub to anybody that wants some serious bass.
