Honestly, that memphis package is pretty darn nice. Hadn't seen that before.

That eclipse deck is something you'd be extremely darn happy with, also.

My advice? Get those two things there, get some plans off of someone here, and build a box yourself. You can have home depot cut the pieces, and you can put it together yourself. Just screw it down tight, use some wood glue to seal it, and you're set.

Then get the wiring kit however you want too, just make sure it's 4 gauge, and decent.

thats a good amp, but it would short change him on the rest of his budget.

ok so i like that memphis set.. so 320+ the deck is 110

430+ wiring kit(http://www.knukonceptz.com/productDetail.cfm?prodID=KLM-K4) is that kit good? its only $26

and then a box id say a max of 100..

and my friend has friends who installed his system for him for free.. so i might get my installation done free by him.. or i might just pay him like $40 or somethin.. or i might just try it myself...

so itd be right around $600 with shipping and all.

that would leave him with $200 for sub, box, wiring, and headunit.

Good amp, but not for this situation.

ya that knu kit is good for your app.

you could proly have a nice box, complete with carpet for less than 100 bucks. 26 for wood, apox 20 for carpet, 5 for terminal, and 10-15 bucks for glues and misc thats right around 66 bucks.

i think the op should just build up a decently good system starting with the memphis and a deck. instead of getting a uber cheap system that will most likely not last. just my $.02

is there maybe a place i could buy a decent box from? im really not too much of a handy person and i would probably screw up somewhere along the line

try local shops. i wouldnt buy a box online since you have to pay shipping and run the risk of box being damaged

The memphis belle is a gret amp and if the op had the cash I would totally recomend it.

However, given his budget i think that the memphis pr amp & subs and eclipse deck would suit him well. I dont think it would an uber cheap system.

but if he is willing to wait, the belle and eclipse deck would be a great way to go.

If you search some info about hooking up an amp, got the basic idea about it, and took you time am sure you can do it.

What kind of car do you have?
