Looking for sub recommendations on stock amp

Almost forgot... I have directly compared this sub in a sealed box to the stock sub in the same sealed box, and same amp with about 100 watts max and it sounds a lot better. I can't say how well it fits the rear shelf though.

Unfortunately I don't wanna put a box in my trunk......although I have run into another problem. I installed my Polk Audio DB651's yesterday. I started with the front driver side and then went to the back driver side, then rear passenger side and then front passenger side. One by one as I put them in the door I tested the speaker and it worked. Went all the way around doing the same thing. No problems. Put all the doors back together and tested it out. It seemed to sounds good. So today on my way to work I cranked it up pretty loud. All the way up to 40, which I could only do 30 with the factory stuff. Everything sounded ok as in no distortion or anything like that. But i felt like it should sound a little better. I then realized that both the front driver side and front passenger speakers were not working. Not like a little....absolutely nothing. I have no idea what I did wrong. I checked the radio and the fade and balance and both are set at the middle so I know its not that. So I'm at a lost. I was thinking that maybe the power output of the head unit couldn't power all the speakers but I would image that with the fade all the way up to just the front speakers then they would work seeings as the head unit wouldn't be pushing anything to the rear speakers. I am definitely a novice when it comes to audio so I am a loss for words. I would think if I blew the speakers which I can't imagine I did, the speakers would still at least have some sort of sound coming out of them. I don't know what to do.........any suggestions?????

I didn't mean to imply you needed a box. It's just the way I've compared them while building a garage stereo system.

I don't know what would cause a loss of both front speakers at the same time.

I am summiting my last post again. After reading it it made no since lol.

I tried this and still no sound. I also thought that maybe the adapter between the factory wiring and the speaker came loose but they are on pretty tight. You definitely had to put a little force behind it. Also the fact that it's both front speakers makes me think its not that.

I gotcha

I am not looking forward to takin apart both doors again. I felt like I was gonna brake both of them.

So I figured it out. Both of the adapters that are used to connect the factory wiring to the new speakers came undone. The fact that it was both front speakers really had me worried. I just ordered some subs yesterday. 8'" JBL Stage 810. They have good reviews. There nothing crazy but for me it should work. I don't need that hard thump that you would want with rap or that sort of music. Now lets just pray that they fit into the rear deck where the factory ones are.

Are they 4 ohm or 2 ohm? You really want 2 ohm.
