Depends on your expectations* but with your budget, you don't really have to many options. A good amp alone will cost more than what you want to spend, even if you were to build a box for those two car subs.

* If you're expecting your room to go "thump thump" like a car, that's never going to happen, maybe at any price.
Alrighty man thanks for you help. I tgink im just gonna kinda save my money maybe after I get the amp fixed on my 10" aperion sub if its not all the bass im expecting i might go with the 12"in dayton.

You might want to ask Aperion or whomever will be doing the repair on what it will cost to get that amp repaired before making any decisions.

It will be $180 with the shipping included. Its like $50 shipping but its also more of a quality sub than a music kind of sub.

To be fair to him, you might want to let him read your threads here and weigh the advice you've been given here before letting him do that.

And, what's the difference between a "quality" sub and a "music" sub?

Below is a link to a review of the SUB-1200. I set up a budget system for my girlfriend and used the SUB-1200. It is an impressively musical sub, and incredible for the price. I would challenge anyone to suggest a better sub for music under $400 (aside from DIY and the SUB-1500)! I like it better than my $600 SVS SB-12plus!

He likes the entire aperion 5.1 system he bought. He wants it repaired because he loves their stuff. We are not gping to just keep the sub without getting the amp repaired. Especially if its a $500 sub.

Who the he!! is talking about a $500 sub.

I still think he deserve to see these threads if he's bankrolling you on this. He can get a better sub for $50 less than it costs to repair the current sub or, for $ more, a much, much better sub.

He might be more likely to listen to the reason and common sense espoused in these threads.

Its alright. When I buy the dayton 12in he will surely be convinced anyways he is not really in the hobby anymore. Hes a big skiier and spends most of his time skiing anyway.

Where are you? Shipping is free to Georgia! I assume it would be free to anywhere in the continental US! Did you put it in your cart and enter your zip to get shipping costs?
Look at the center top of the page and you will see a little guy running with "free shipping $98+ order".

Also, coupon code CJTENQ1 gets $10 of $100. If I ordered one today it would cost $119 to my door with Free Economy Shipping (5-10 Days).

Before I buy it. Does anyone know if I can connect 2 subs out from one input (aux) receiver is Denon AVR-1803. Thanks. And is there anything i should be worried about?

Yes, you can. Just get a "Y" splitter. ...and it's not an aux output. It's a sub/LFE output.

Using a plitter will that affect quality at all or not at all. But do you know where I can find a cheap one thats goof aswell?

Not that you can hear. These are commodities and Wal-Mart, Radio Shack and even Home Depot or Lowes should be able to help you.

You really should start doing a little thinking on your own. It's not really that difficult.

Look at the back of your receiver.

See what plug you need to put in the LFE jack.

Now, look at the back of your sub, or subs. See what kind of jacks you need to plug into them. Get long enough RCS interconnects to reach the back of your receiver.

Now, buy the "Y" connector that will let you join the two interconnects into the "Y" connector coming out of the receiver.

Hint: there's only two kinds of RCA jacks: male and female.

They are all the same except for the male/female configuration. Get the one that will turn that one female output into two female outputs. Does that help?
