Super Noob Needs Help.

i bought a 2008 Subaru Impreza 2.5i and the speakers and CD player are good in it but i need subs.

so my questions i guess are:
  1. Should i be looking at a 2Ohm or 4 Ohm Sub im not sure the difference between the two.
  2. Should i be looking at getting a sealed box or a ported box.

if someone can go to www.visions.ca and point out some good subs and a amp to go with them, i don't really need something that's super pumping but something that gives a good pump that still sounds good.

If you wanna put in any other info i'd be happy to hear it.

the ohm of the voice coils depends on the amp you get what size sub/subs would you like? what kind of music do you listen to and ported rules!

1 12" in a well built box would be great. but i dont know if you know anything about building boxes. or if you have someone that can build a good one for you.

for techno i find that a sealed box sounds better because of the really fast beats. ported makes it sound really sloppy.

if its sloppy the box is no good... yeah alot of stereo places will build a box for you. or you can always just buy prefab. i run all ported boxes and i listen to metal and punk, they aren't sloppy when done right

but even on home stereo speakers where the box was built and optimized specifically for the speakers, it still sounds sloppy to me. maybe i'm just picky.

well then ni think the ported box is for me cause i hate techno and cant stand when my buddy turns it on, so if it sounds sloppy he wont wanna listen to it no more so what type of sub you think i should get,
something like this 2Ohm or this 4OHM? is kicker any good, alot of people i know talk about the Alpine Type-R's too.

i might not get it from visions but there a good way to see what i can get in my city

like before . the ohm you choose depends on the amp you choose and yes kicker makes good stuff and the alpine type R's are good as well... and that means alot coming from me because i hate alpine, but right now in my car is a single 12" type R and it has done 146.7 db so i mean really....
