Any advice on my setup before I pull the trigger? First timer here.

[QUOTE="Happynau, post: 8234833, member: 659946"] Hey guys, like the title says, this is going to be my first time picking and installing a whole system from the ground up, and it has been around 12 years since I've replaced a speaker or head unit. I'm trying to put together a decent single sub setup as economically as possible. I'm focused more on SQ than SPL, but I'd like to be able to get a little loud when I feel like it. This will be going into a Hyundai Veloster (hatchback), it's completely stock other than a 12" Kicker Comp and a no name amp pushing around 150W. Until a few minutes ago I had my mind made up that I was going to run an SA 12D4 (~$195), but I just saw where I can get a slightly used SSA GCON for $160. The sub will be in a ported box, generic prefab until I get around to building a custom box. Anybody have any thoughts on which is a better pick? Here's the used GCONs: [URL="http:////forums/subwoofer-classifieds/598561-sound-solutions-audio-gcon-12-subwoofers.html"]http://www.caraudio.com/forums/subwoofer-classifieds/598561-sound-solutions-audio-gcon-12-subwoofers.html[/URL] The amp I'm looking at is a Hifonics BRX5000.1.
