I am partial to Kicker Products myself. Never had one go bad and they are the best bang for the buck. Right now I have Kicker KS series speakers all the way around powered by a Kicker ZX650.4 amp. Believe it or not this setup is loud and clear. From my experience I would suggest going with a 12" if you plan on making your car loud and nasty(motor/exhaust wise). I had a 10" Kicker L5 in my TA powered by a Kicker ZX1000.1 at almost full gain(max on sub was 900) and my exhaust overpowered it especially when the tops were down. 12 inches tend to stay just as tight as tens but can reach louder dbs while not requiring that much power. The reason I like the solobaric(square style) woofers so much is because they have about 30% more surface area and move more air than their round equivalents. Let me know if you have any questions.

My experience: I used to install systems on the side and worked at a custom audio shop in sales. Plus I'm a technology nut and usually keep up with what works best.
