One 12 sounds good, I have one in my car right now. But I would go with two 10's instead. It sounds much better. I just got a couple Punch 10's for christmas. Crutchfield.com.. only 89 bucks a piece.

IF your looking for just a little extra kick nothing huge go with a single 10 inch I suggest (to keep it cheap) rockford P1 sub they are excellent money for your dollar if all you want in an extra kick =)

Ru gonna get the 2 for $107? thats a good deal and will sound pretty darn good for ur likeing. If u get 2 of them im familiar with infinity amps so heres what ill reccomend, but if u want to look for urself look for a mono amplifier with about 300-400 RMS. RMS is the key word not max output.

Try maybe something like this, just the one sub .http://cgi.ebay.com/KICKER-Comp-VR-0...em290064388570

Punch is honestly a junk line of speakers and ive heard them in person. It should be a dead give away they are, beingthat the RMS power handling on this 12" sub is 50-150watts rms! If you got this one Kicker Cvr it'd be capable ofhandling 400rms on its own which two of thosecruddy punches together cant do reliably.

As far as a decent amp to go with the CVR, i'd look intoa Hifonics Txi7506 amp that will do 500rms at 2ohm which will be fine. http://cgi.ebay.com/HIFONICS-TXI7506...em320065207483

I'm running 1200rms to the pair of kicker cvr's i own, and have been for some time now, no problems, and if you want to get two subs it will be able to put out 750rms at 1ohm stable,so your damn near dead-on the subs rms rating.

Also i should point out that infinity amp for $200you get312rms and the hifonics is$180 shippeddoin 750rms at 1ohm, so its up to you.
