ive never owned nice speakers. but i got a new vehicle. so i plan on decking it out. i want 3 12"sub woofers. I want to spend somewhere around $150 on each sub. I like to hear a lot of BASS
we want almost the same thing. i own a 2000 lincoln navigator and im going to install 3 kickers l5(i got em for $140) but you can easily get some kicker cvr's for less than $150 each and they will hit real hard in a triple vented enclosure
Id get 3 Kicker L7's, if you can find them that cheap. If you really wanna beat the block down, go with 2 L7 15's. I know you wanted 3, but trust me, this will outbeat any 3 12''s in that price range by far! Just make sure you can fully power them and get the right enclosure!
