[QUOTE="RJesus, post: 6766719, member: 614865"] I have a pair of JL evolution vr690cxi coaxial 6x9's. $85 shipped. sound great, great condition. alpine 9887 is a great headunit, can be had for around $200-$220 with an ipod adapter. DC sound labs makes some very popular subs. They have a dclvl1, lvl 2, lvl 3, lvl4, lvl4xl, and lvl 5. Pick whichever lvl fits your budget/the amount of bass you would like. As a guide line, anything over a lvl4, and your rear view mirror will need to be reinforced. smaller subwoofers sound 'punchy/crisp/accurate' where as larger subwoofers sound 'deeper'. Use that bit of info when deciding if you want an 8'', 10'', 12'', or 15'', or 18'' sub. If you want the ground to shake when you start playing music, get the biggest sub you can fit in your car. You'll be fine with any well-made amplifier. The best way to go is to look around on craigslist and the classifieds here and find any of the following amps at a nice price. sundown, AQ, eclipse, JL audio, alpine PDX's are solidly built, and would probably fit your needs, arc audio, there are more I'm sure someone else will chime in. Match the amplifier to your speakers RMS power. Try not to get something that has A Lot more power, because it will cost more, and be less efficient. You will be much better off having someone build you a sub enclosure. There are plenty of people on these forums that can build/design enclosures. Where are you located? A lot of shops will try to sell you a piece of crap box for a jacked up price. Having one built specifically for your subwoofer is worth every penny. Typically, a stock electrical system (with the big 3 done) can handle between 1000w-1500w of power, keep that in mind when deciding what your after. [/QUOTE]
