Sub should run you around $250. 1999 contour se sport- black mtx -Duratec v6 -dual exhaust -no resonator -kkm induction system -one loud stereo -35% window tint -18' Enkei CDR9's on Kumho Ecsta Supras. -Audi A6 Sidemarkers (Coming Soon, Very Soon.) -SVT front and rear bumper. 2002 Passat V6 GLX 4Motion

Compared to the Lambda the Punch (Hell even the Power series can't compare) you mentioned is a paperweight, and even mentioning Bose in the same sentence as the word best makes me want to cry... then laugh... then once again cry... then maybe go take a dump... "I think brand X makes the best sub because they give me a paycheck" I think you should try listening to a couple other subwoofers sometime when you aren't at work 1996 Contour "Mean Green" (99-02) 2002 Malibu Blue Focus ZX5 - something to hold the PB 15...

Rockford flat out kicks asss for the money and is extremely durable. this basically explains it. 1999 contour se sport- black mtx -Duratec v6 -dual exhaust -no resonator -kkm induction system -one loud stereo -35% window tint -18' Enkei CDR9's on Kumho Ecsta Supras. -Audi A6 Sidemarkers (Coming Soon, Very Soon.) -SVT front and rear bumper. 2002 Passat V6 GLX 4Motion

If you listen to a lot of types of music, Rockfords can't cut it. If you listen to a lot of Rap, rock, and other high bass music, then rockfords are the way to go. Other than that, Lambda PB series.

My guess is that if you swapped subs, and kept the same amps/settings, your car with 2 perfects would be louder than his car with 1 HX2.
