    Soundstream has been around for a long time, but the company has changed hands once or twice they still make a very good product. Id choose soundstream over pb anyday.

    ranger put some subs in his sons car. very loud.

    go for the inexpencive subs. the right box and amp will pound.

    the L5's would look awesome, but would the PB's have more cone area therefore louder? i want a pounding system for like really cheap.

    pedro is right. PB's are cheap and pretty good subs. can't beat the price and since you're dropping a lot of money in fixing up your car right now i'd go with a cheaper sub for now. You can always upgrade later on.

    Gohilla had a couple of PB 15"s in his car. He was pretty happy with them as well. then he changed them...

    And we can't forget about Ranger. If he said they are good then you gotta believe it... Just make sure you have a good box for them.

    Who was it on here saying they got fake stuff, I think it was PB or Focal. I cant remember now. If they are 2 cheap it might be for a reason.

    well with 4 of those PB subs you can get a 1ohm load, with only 2 your looking at a 2ohm load.

    I would also suggest you look at the Hifonics BXI1206D. they're better than the TXI's.

    Why don't you invest in some better subs. like 2 12's dual voice coil. those PB's you picked are only single voice coil.

    he can but 4 will have more cone area and move more air.

    if they fit do it!
    if not 4 10's
