if you wanna buy one, buy last years series, because this year they are made by a different company and supposedly they arnt as tough as the old series that were US manufactured. And when running them you need to have the right amp to sufficently power them or they will sound sloppy and very slow to respond.

IM bery familiar with those US tech 1000watt 2 channels, very good value for money but they will not have the ball to run the LOMU subs cleanly, your better off going with the power plant series and that way you can also save yourself some money and put it into a better amp. Im not sure of the difference between teh model numbers but that last series were much better than the new. SORRY to dampen you hopes, but its just what i think is best, just thought i could help.
GOOD LUCK

Hey man, yeah i get ya,
that amp is good cheap first amp before i actually get a proper amp, but i usually like gettin the subs first, before the amp
so eventually it will be a better amp,
but i wont go for the Junahs, unless i get them for awesome price
i'm gonna go for the DLS subs,
or if i can afford it, MTX RFL subwoofer?
does anyone kno what that costs?
hehe
what amps do u suggest, i was thinkin of a DLS amp as well,
i am huge fan of rockford fosgate too

you will need a HUGE wallet to buy the RFL and a amp as big as your car to sufficently power it, this is a very very very expensive way to go about big bass. The us tech amp will make the LOMU's sound very sloppy becasue they will be very greatly underpowered by it.

FREAKY:
what are the LOMU subs rated at RMS??
the US TECH is a good amp and i will run alot of subs at pretty good quality, i was running one for ages and some of my mates have them now also.
You also have to watch with the US TECH amps, they run very very hot, you need to have them well ventalated and cooled other wise they will put themselves into protection mode and when they cool down they will become workable again, but the cooler you can run the amplifier the higher output you will receive due to efficiancy. The amps like to run bridged, i was running a 15" JBL sub of one of these amps and it cranked pretty hard.
The RFL are only something you would by if you we going in the more SPL side of the music industry, it would be a waste of money buying one of those subs and then finding an amp with enough power to feed it, and a car with a big enough charging system to feed the amplifier.
HOPE THIS HAS HELPED.

when installing subs into the back of the old celicas, particualy the ta22/ra23, you may wanna consider sound deadening the boot lid and the side wall of the boot, as these are all very large pannels that make a bit of vibration noise, also you may wanna think about porting the rear shelf of the car to allow bass travel into the cabin this will also reduce the amount of pressure inside the boot of the car and if you have speakers in the rear shelf, could possibly increase their life span and retain their output quality.
NO WORRIES DUDE, GOOD LUCK WHAT EVER WAY YOU DECIDE TO GO

if you are planning on running subs of this size that we are talking about, you will only need to run some nice 2 or 3way 6" speakers in the rear shelf, you will not need to fit 7*10's or 6*9's as the power you will require to run these is just wasted because you do no need any further bass, due to the large amounts of rear bass fill provided by the subs, and by only using 6" speakers you are reducing installation weight and you will have more room on your rear shelf. Another bonus is that thieves are no so interested in little speakers.
When i talked about porting the rear shelf, what i was meaning is just the use of one 4" port, which will give you great projection of bass into the cabin and reduce some of the boot pressure, and chances are if you are running speakers in the rear shelf, you have made a plywood or MDF shelf that has insulated the bass from entering the car even more.
A few of my mates have subs in their old school celicas and i find that they lack the ability to mix all the music together to create a good sound stage, so by adding a port you are bringing more music into the car and will slightly reduce you rear rattles, eg, the extra pressure vibrating the pannels in the boot will be reduced. Just make a nice cover you can put over the rear port so that it will not draw unwanted attention when parked and unattended, because as soon as they see ports, well you know the saying, "where there is smoke there is fire", well in the stereo industry, "WHERE THERE IS PORTS THERE IS SUBS".
My advice is dont just go and blow a SHIT LOAD of dollars ($$$) on massive subs and amps, when you can buy something not quite so good, put some thought into the installation and make it sound better than someone who has spent twice as much as you and has just whacked their install together.

hope this will help you in your ways

yeah i might just keep my kenwoods for the time being
then, and set it up nice, i'm not sure if i should port tho
coz of thieves and stuff... i'll definatelly go 6inch at the back, and i'll make the sehlf stronger my bro did two mdf thick boards together when he did his car he only had 2 6x9's and it sounded awsemly bassy... (for 6x9s) yeah...
if i have a good alarm and insurance on car i might even port it hehe but right now my kenwoods sound unbelievabley awesome with the us tech amp  u'll see it on the next cruise thumbs up if u'r there... (i put u on msn i dont know if u'r on it much)
cheers

YO FREAKY, that sounds like an unreal idea, organising sound OFF DAYS, for the TOYMODS AUDIOPHILES. i would love to take on toymods, with my custom inclosures and home installations.
