Hey guys I'm looking to change my setup a little to save space and improve SQ. I currently have a couple kenwood 3011's but they are pretty meh to me. I really don't need insane volume, so any suggestions? Here's what I have so far:

Re: Good setup for $250ish?
Maybe you could tell us about the rest of your setup (beyond the 3011's) before asking us how to make it better?
What head unit do you have? (Stock? Aftermarket? By who? What model?)
What amplifier do you have?
What door and rear deck speakers do you have?

I had some infinity kappa perfects for while that I thought was eh. Put a better amp on them, and put a aftermarket cd player in and WOW!!!
Fault lies with the man low enough to lay blame.

Re: Good setup for $250ish?
If you are looking for just a sub, I had nothing but good experiences with Kenwood excelon kfc-xw1224d
I had two of em hooked up to a Kenwood excelon x1200m amp and I could pound em all day and they wouldn't even break a sweat. Pure sq subs. They are a little spendy though if you are looking to spend $250ish on a sub AND a box and amp, as they are $220 a piece.

Re: Good setup for $250ish?
the enclosure could be better, i dont really like prefab boxes.
but if you are willing to spend just a little more to build your own then do it, tune it around 44 hz
but the setup who are showing us is pretty good.
you can wire the subs down to 2 ohms.
the amp is rated at 500 rms at 2 ohms so itll be pushin 2x the rms of the sub almost which is reall good
