some subs or subwoofer companys you should look at are:

treo engineering

resonant engineering

adire audio

mmats

atomic thunder

cerwin vega stroker

digital designs

image dynamics

and a nice ammount of power to push them...

I say:

 

SW9152Pro - Eclipse 15" Titanium Pro Subwoofer

 

and

 

Orion XTR PRO2400

 

 

if you look around enough, it is doable under $1500

i'm sorry but i'll have to disagree w/ the eclipse Ti. There's so much better for the money.

That's about the exact same budget I had to work with when I started building my set up.

So far I've gotten:

Alpine CDA-9813

(1) E12A

(1) Avionixx 800.2

And I'll have enough left over to get a decent set of front speakers and probably a small amp.

and a new battery is also needed sometimes...its still doable if he can get the alternator and install it himself.

but dont forget sound dampening either...

If hes not going to be running alot of powr he dont need to upgrade alternators

Didn't he say he wanted to compete??? If your going to compete you need lots of power AKA a more powerful alternator

Depends on the organization. Usually when it comes to street in db drag, you just need to charge your batteries the night before because the car can't be running while in the lanes.

wekk, when iu went to a db drag comp...you could have ur engine running. Couldn't not be above 2000 rpms...AND if he's looking for a comp setup...just get a red top under the hood...and possibly a beefy yellow top in the back (maybe not) and just make sure thes batteries can take the burp! REMEMBER...it's just a burp...like a few seconds! There was a guy at the last comp w/ 2 rfl's and 3 81000d's on a STOCK metro electrical system...(maybe a new battery, but nothing special...and only 1 battery) It took it fine for the burp...took a huge *** voltage hit...but still got 156.8 peace
