Thanks fellas, I looked up some dsp's and I figured it would be $300 or more for a decent one. The Dayton 408 sounds like the way to go. I'm adding it to the purchase list. Again thanks everyone.

I wasn't planning on running DSP.

I like the Kenwood excelon KDC-X704. 3 sets of 5v preouts for $150. Unless I find something better, this one might be it.

I've been reading old threads on here about head units. I'm trying to find a nice single din for under 150$-200$ but if 40 extra bucks gets me something way nicer I'm game. I can dish out more money if I really need to. My build is nothing crazy, it's a 3-4k daily, but sound clarity is...

Thanks for the itemized list man. That gives me more direction than you know. I'm just starting to figure out the basics of my front stage. All I know at this point is I need speakers up front and I should probably deaden the doors while I'm at it. Lol

The budget is what I'm trying to figure out. It's not a competition build or anything special. So if it's not super high end, but does the trick I'm fine. Right now I've got about $400 for speakers, and a small amp. Buying used is probably my only option, even though I would rather buy new. This...

This is my first attempt at looking into my front stage needs. Is there a ballpark ratio that tells you much front, mid stage you need to match up to your sub stage? The sub stage is 3k.

I'm looking for used car audio. What are some good sites to check out? I would love to find a couple of used fi q 12s, or the new neo versions 3.5s

That's the exact bass I'm trying to get, it surrounds you. But I'm trying to get that sound at a much higher rms. I'm terrible about overthinking, and I second guess which makes it worse. Looks like I need to start reading more about other parts of the build, as mentioned above. As far as...

I'm not building a sq setup. I just want clean, clear bass. From what I read trapping the rear wave produced by the sub is cleaner, not as efficient, but cleaner sounding. Everyone says go ported, which is more efficient, but using the front and rear waves takes away from clarity. I'm fine with...

Thanks man. How much power are you pushing to your subs?

Everybody keeps telling me I'm crazy for thinking about going sealed for a 3.5k daily. They say I can accomplish the same sq and full range of bass with a ported enclosure. So what frequency range would I need to get my box built to in order to mimic the sq that a sealed box provides? This is a...

Thanks guys, I talked to a builder today. He said could do the build in the trunk, but I've never got anything from him. For some reason it just didn't seem right. Guess I was wrong. Lol

Is it possible to build an enclosure inside of a trunk that would be solid at 2-3k? I've heard of people doing it for 1k setups, but I wasn't sure how it would stand up to a 2.5k sub.

Thanks man, I went ahead and bought an amp yesterday. I was looking at a few amps from taramps, and a Wolfram 3k, but I ended up getting a Twisted Sounds 3.5, which I am more than happy with.
