Best Bang for The Buck Sub/Amp for Rap???

I would run a single 12 instead of a 10 if you like rap, r&B and dance music. A 12 will give you much more thump than a 10. As they say in the engine world, there is no replacement for displacement. I find this to be very true when it comes to subwoofers.

Very true, for subs that is. It's pretty much all about the volume of air being moved. There is some math involved also.

I think the biggest bang for the buck is some of the new JL Subwoofers they just introduced. The new 12W0v2's are incredible! I listened to them the other day and they have killer SQ!! They sound every bit as good as the higher end subs but only lacking in power handling and a "little" less SPL. I could have picked one up for $99.00 at Car Toys this weekend. This sub will destroy anything I have ever heard within twice that price range. Then get like an Alpine PDX-5 amp with a good set of Focal Polyglass Comps and you will have a KILLLER system!

I have used Alpine Type-Rs and they are very decent as well, especially thier 10's. Thier 12 is not as impressive though. IMO JL makes the best 12" sub out there! I have paid big money on some really high end subs like Focal, Peerless, and Morel and I still prefer the JL sound. I know others will disagree but I have used so many JL subs over the years and there is a reason I keep going back to JL.
