Not necessarily the prices and websites I was going to buy from but just to check if the equipment specs make sense.
Also wondering if its better to have professionally installed vs someone like myself who is noob at installing.
Any ideas?

ummm yeah what kind of money are you wanting to spend on everything?

Yeah man, you can do better. What's your budget?

Search around on this forum, you'll find a lot.

all garbage ,but will work if no other choice,but you'll need dual 2 ohm subs .

First question, do you want to listen to someone who knows what they're talking about or just listen to yourself and ignore the adivce? Is this just gonna be for beatn' around the block and not competeing?

I'm willing to spend more but not break the bank over it. I could probably throw a few hundred more into the bank if it makes sense. What do you suggest?

There's better out there for a cheap setup. Someone show this guy something good in the classifieds. I would but i'm at work, on da cell...

You didn't list any prices. Give us a number for a total budget.

2 xfl 12 dual 4 subs new and a vfl 120.1 1000 shipped all new with warranty

Not looking top spend any more than $1,000 bucks on it.

Yep. Without the budget there's not much we can recommend.

1000 bucks is a pretty decent budget if you've already got the head unit. Let's see what I can figure out.

What kind of sound are you looking for? SQ,SQL, or SPL?

APSM-1500 - $129
XFL 12's - $200 each

you can keep the box ya got, won't make much difference.

BOOM!

you will need wiring also

1000 is a lot of money if you want just subs of rms 400watts, look at the 600watt range subwoofers like Skar, sundown, ssa, etc..

look at this store you cannot go wrong on any sub here

Sub Woofers - SSA STORE
