[QUOTE="i2ain2thunder, post: 7526580, member: 631331"] for the equipment if he is stuck on those brands I wouldn't get subs from rockford/SS/Kicker.....unless you guys find a good deal I don't see DD or FI fitting into the budget so DC is maybe the best option...and we have plenty of supporting vendors in here to give you some options there.
