help me choose a system combo

ok the bass in my max (non-bose) is very pathetic and annoying, and needs to be upgraded.

i don't care about the highs/mids right now, im more focused into getting some good bass in the car.

i was looking at JL 12W3-D4's and infinity perfect 12"

however i came upon the kicker solobaric L5 12" which seems to have a much higher rms power rating and is pretty cheap! i take it different companies and their numbers don't really match up with each other in terms of wattage..

now if i were to get either 1 or 2 of the above subs, what type of amp would i power them with? and should i get 2ohm or 4ohm subs?
i was considering the JBL 600.1 amp.

thanks for any help

All of those would be good choices. The solo barics are real nice and get loud. I had two 10 inch L7's and they were sweet. The Jbl will be good, its stable to 1 ohm so it can take about anything you throw at it. I had one and now i've got the 1200.1 and i love them both. I don't know if that helped much, but at least i tried.

Dude.... out the subs you chose.. go with Kicker 12L5. Port your box... tune to 30Hz and let it rip anything else up. I think you are in Toronto... if oyu like next week you can have a listen to my 12L7 ina ported box powered by the same power as you have (not same amp.. same power)... and you will know what im talking about.
