... Are you implying you have more than one sub?? If so and you plan on getting a different kind of sub, you need to make sure that they are not sharing the same airspace, The reason for this is that different subs have different specs and sensitivity ratings, and when they are running they will sound bad or even damage the other sub. So if they share the same airspace you HAVE to get the exact same sub. I've even heard of people saying that subs should never share airspace even if they are the same sub... Just shows how sensitive they can be to each other......

ok well if you're looking for a slim sub the kicker cvt's are nice, they are a solid sub and have a good price. i run 2 12 inch cvts and they do the trick

I run a single JLw1 in my '01 Ext cab under the rear seat. Plenty cheap and when set up properly pound pretty good( enough my neighbors complain)
Airspace is important, like Andrew says, check the specs for possible replacements to the box your using.

Its two 10 inch subs. Found a couple on crutchfield. But there operating watts are 50-150 which makes it a total of 300. Would my amp (400 watts) over power them and blow them?

Two things Corey. 1) Jensen amps are not high current amps so you'd be fine with what you have a 400W Jensen would be similar to something like a 150W in something like Fosgate. 2) Amps, just like the ones internal to the radio, start to distort when pegged to the max. A general rule of thumb is to keep your gain at 75% or less to have better sound, longer amp life, and longer speaker life.
