Bestbuy is not totally out of the question..That is if you can get your hands on employee discount/ don't want an entire system..However if you can get your hands on the employee discount (which is pretty big in car audio due to the markup) I would get 2 Alpine Type-R 12"s.. (the only subs i would buy there) Now there 220 each..but you can get them for 110 a piece.. so thats 220 for 2..then buy a amp wiring kit, again if you have discount a 4 gauge should run about 35 dollars..Now for the wood for the box..3/4" MDF $25ish..then some GE silicone 2.. it shud be about 7 bucks and 1 shud do..now find someone or build it yourself..now thats 220+35+35= 290..that leaves u 210 for a amp..id suggest looking in the classified section here and finding a nice used amp..i think the only type-rs they carry at bestbuy now are dual 4 ohm..so 2 = 1ohm or 4ohm load..now with an rms of 500 i dont think a used 1000watt@1ohm amp will be hard to find..however you still wont have a headunit, front stage, or upgraded electrical so u just purchased 1/3 of a system for 500$..save up and add the rest..hope that helped you gl man

now if i got 2 type r's from bestbuy for 220, and used my boss amp ( i know i know, everyone says boss is junk and cheaply made) but it does 150x4 and since its underrated, id say about 300 rmsx2. it says 800 max x2 bridged. but if i bridge them like that, id be sending about 300 to each, and that would be 4 ohm. and WTF is the ohms about. i dont quite get them......

HERES a preview of the system. More pics of the FINAL setup tommorow:::





Thats one ohm right? I have two Type R's [sWR-1242D] and they shoud be wired like this right? [below] For one ohm?

Just ran a quick test and all worked well... will set up the amp tommorow and as well get everything tidy up...

Later. Yo.

just give it time, your battery's still goin "hey what is this new feeling" soon enough the battery won't have as good a charge....least mine did that.

if i go a day or 2 without bumpin though, the lights don't start dimmin right away.
