[QUOTE="fazio93, post: 6744479, member: 620652"] Hey guys, I'm a junior in high school and I'm getting a car in less than a month. It may sound weird that I'm looking at car audio parts when I don't even have a car yet but I am certain I am getting one very soon. It will most likely be something along a Honda Civic or Accord. All I'm looking for is to add a sub that will bring out the bass and give a good bump in my car. Nothing fancy or over the top, but nothing cheap and crappy. My budget it around $300-350 for everything. I will be putting the sub and amp in my trunk. I was debating over either 2 10"s or 1 12" and I have had some advice from friends that I'd be better off with 1 12inch. They also said it really depends on the brand and such. This is what I'm looking for: Subwoofer: Something simple, but not cheap. I want to order something that is preloaded (I don't want to but the box and woofer separately). I want a decent brand. For example, I've seen Solo X and Alpine are very good brands, but a little too expensive for me. I've been looking at JL Audio and MTX on [URL="http://www.woofersetc.com/"]Woofersetc.com the online car audio super store, the largest selection at the lowest prices![/URL] because those are the decent brands that sell pre-loaded boxes and they are decent price for me. I see a lot of people have those on Youtube. Also I want something that is in between SQ and SPL. Average. I want it pretty loud, but not crappy quality. I mostly listen to rap with a lot of bass. My friends said for what I want it for, any brand will most likely do. Amp: I haven't really learned what all the specs on amps mean yet. For example Ohm, wattage, different number of channels, etc. All I want is an amp that can effectively power my sub. That's it. Wire Kit: I see all these different gauge types an all. I believe the lower the number the better(?). Like I said with the amp, whatever I can effectively use for my subwoofer. Nothing fancy, just necessary. Radio: Much like the Amp and Wire Kit, something basic. All I need is for it to support basic functions that all stock radios have plus MP3/Ipod support (which is the main reason I will most likely have to upgrade it; becuase stocks don't usually have that support). As you can see, I've started to research. I still need some guidance on brand names and such. Any help will be appreciated. To give you an idea, I just want something simple like this: [URL="http://www.woofersetc.com/p1515/SLHT4512A--MTX-Sledge-Hammer-12%22-450-Watt-4-Ohm-Loaded-Sub-Box.htm"]SLH-T4512-A - MTX Sledge Hammer 12" 450 Watt 4 Ohm Loaded Sub Box[/URL] Thanks [/QUOTE]
