blew my old sub and i don't really know much about them so help me pick one, this is the amp I have. and yes I know its old and crappy spec wise but imo its trully underated and when the sub was working had my car sounding great, i don't see the need to upgrade since i enjoy its output capabilities and it still works...

your amp only pushes 200 watts. the first sub would work best. the other subs would be heavly underpowered. if i were u i would get a bigger amo if u want more powerful bass. look into alpine m6 for the first sub u listed alpine m12 amp for the 2nd two. u cant really go wrong with aline products. honestly tho your amp wont play any of these subs to there potential

U know....if you're anything like me...I would just spend the money and get a good setup...$700-$900 is worth the investment for 4+ years of good bumping (assuming you don't blow anything).

That site says both 200 and 350 watts. Which one is correct? Also, the amp does the the rated watts at 2ohms so u need to find the right subwoofer ohm coils that would allow for u to wire it to 2 ohms on the amp. Check on a wiring diagram though because I'm not exactly positive what ohm voice coil sub u will need(2 ohm or 4ohm) that would give u a 2 ohm load on the amp. Hope I didn't lose u there lol bare with me

i see you have 2 L shaped brackets, Im assuming you used it to keep the box from moving around. I been looking for a way to keep the box from moving around as well but I didn't want to put holes into the frame of the car, I used 3m double sided tape but it didn't really work. btw it seems like a cool deal but I already ordered the alpine type r I'll be installing into my old box I have a very similar one as yours.
