So, I decided i want to get a system. Nothing fancy, no ridiculously insane fiberglass setups, just something that will sound better than stock and hit a bit harder, im a bass addict what can i say. What would you guys recommend, take into account i have no clue about anything audio. Also who would you recommend to go to? Don't really know what my budget is, maybe $500?

not so sure about the product but you did say 500 dollar budget. 1000 watts for 400 bucks sounds worth itto me

Id pick up 2 Alpine Type R 12'' subs: http://cgi.ebay.com/Pair-ALPINE-SWR-1242D-Type-R-12-DVC-SUBS-BRAND-NEW_W0QQitemZ5860804256QQcategoryZ18803QQrdZ1QQcmd ZViewItem

Thats ~$265 for subs

Then a Viper 1200.1 or an Orion 1500D, or a Directed one, all the same amp just different heat sinks: http://www.ikesound.com/product-product_id/2167

Thats $179 for the amp

So $444 for subs and amp. Then you could build a box yourself, but some wire and you should be able to get that all for around $500 may be a tad more, but that is a nice solid setup :goodjob:

is this 500 just for subs and an amp or for a whole system? Just subs and amp, rollin layed out a pretty nice system, if its for an entire system 500 just isnt going to be enough to get gear thats worth buying.

Yea im just going to go for subs and an amp, but is there anything cheaper. I kind of want something in the middle, not to shitty and not the best. Cause this is just going to be in the car temporarily, once i get my new car in about a year or so, i'll get something better.

i can tell you go with an audiobahn a8000t i think its one of the cheaper price wise mono blocks that push 800rms at 2ohms for 200 dollars is pretty damn good just a suggestion
