Not much of a car forum here. I did have a 10" Kicker (C10 driver too) for a while, but it fried along with an amp. Good sub but best, no. I replaced the 10" Kicker with a 10" Infinity (R1070) that could use the same box. Then someone recently stole the whole sub so now have to build a box for it, and am going with a 12" Infinity (R1200S). I replaced the amp with a Fosgate R500X1D.
As to amp/package...the specs are likely exaggerated a lot, but I'd tend to just get the more powerful amp.
