madman ....what kind of spl u wan lar??....good sub like MTX n JL audio sub r considered spl sub ....they can sore very high spl for competition but if u really wanna blast it loud for ppl outside to listen u will lose out to those cheapo sub used by those ah beng ....thats for sure cos they have very different frequency range ....cheapo sub can blast very loud from 50-150hz but good sub is usually for 80hz n below....in iasca i hit 142db with 2 10" mtx 8000 but if u wanan blast thumping music for everyone to hear....my sub can lost to a single kicker CVR sub anytime ......but u can hardly hear low 20hz rumbling bass from a CVR ....

yupe....its great with heavy metal ....its fast n powerful yet doesnt sound too hard and harsh .....Madman and Dani1010 ...i think u guys can meet up n have a listen to my frens CVR ....if u wan better sub u could try out d kicker L7 but the sub cost a bomb ...

for that price range ....u could try out Pegasus ....their component is quite good for budget users.....their reference car won the Sepang Iasca and also Singapore competition in the pro class for Sound quality.....i tried the speaker before ....its quite good.....but if u wanna get something better below 1k ...u could try out eton speakers......
u should go try them out yourself .....try not to go for famous brands like sony ....pioneer n stuff like that .....they do produce good speakers but the better wan usually cost a bomb......try around bfore u decide......
