Do you have any ideas for subs, like a preference.

What car do you have? Do you have a boat where you have to blare just to hear the bass or a rice burner where a 10 can blow your ears off?

if you want what alot of other people have.. go with 3 10" mtx6000.. and get a nice matching amp.. if you want what everyone has.. at least that's what they have around here.. else... you might wanna look into the type r's.. : )

if you ahve the hookup, then use it! if you know the owner of a local shop, they should be able to tell you (and hook you up with) the best stuff for your money. if not, go to ebay, get a pair of jl 12w3's and a decent amp like a jl 500/1, and you will be bangin harder and cleaner than most!

For an amp i recomed the sony xm-3001sxd d-class mono amp or the mobile es one is the 6000 model.these amps put out 300rms in 4 ohms and 600rms in 2 ohms and 1000 rms in 1 ohm so they have lots of power and not just that the amps sound good also.i bought this amp at future shop so if i didn't like it i could bring it back in 30 days but i kept it because it is very sweet.This amp will cost you about $200 so it will leave you money for the rest of stuff. i would like to help with the other stuff but i'm in the market for some subs so i haven't tried out those yet.

Subs and an amp for $650- I think we can do it for less and still get amazing performance that will outperform many setups costing twice as much.

Subs-->

Adire Audio Shiva $125.00/each --- 2 for $250.00

http://www.adireaudio.com/cd/shiva.htm

Highlt reccomended- and exceptional performers. Dont let the price fool you, Adire keeps the cost low by offering a no frills strait forward woofer that really performs.

Amplifier--->

Nakamichi PA4001

http://www.nakamichiusa.com/auto/amplifiers/pa_4001_specs.htm

http://www.thezeb.com/caraudio/nakamichi.html

Ultra high quality amplifiers- very clean design and performance. - $309.99

$309.99

$250.00 = $559.99

Almost $100.00 under budget- and a very decent set-up all arround.

take it easy,

I'd go with 2 12" rockford HE2's 3212's (100 a piece) and a rockford 800.2 (338), total 538. If you want to stay with the comp vr's you can get 2 12's for 180 with the rockford 800.2 for 518. then you have to get a box and wiring but overall it will be way less than 650.

go with 2 10" xtant hex subs and a decent 500watt single channel amp. run both subs into the one channel and u will be amazed by what they sound like. hard hitting and crazy cheap. like $125 or so apiece. id say for an amp look into orian if u can find one to fit the budget. even a 400watt amp will work. just remember the trick is gettin a 1 channel amp for the 2 subs. hey good luck and build the box urself it will save a ton. later.

look at http://www.cmttrading.com and they have excellent prices. and yes they are legit I have ordered two amps from them both the rockford 800.2 and they are only $310. Their subs renge from the Comp VR's, Solobaric 15 L7's to Rockford and earthquake DBX12 Extreme subs(which are excellent). They also have JL subs and alpine. Overall everthing is cheap, quick shipping and quality stuff. I would advise you to stay with brand name stuff though don't stay into the other.
