depending on the subs, for the price you could go with coustic, profile. If you want to get real lazy try a vibe, many people hate this amp, but it's a well built amp.

look for a 4 channel amp, then use 2 channels for your front speakers, and bridge the reminaing two for your subs.

check that out, MUCH better than that kenwood. Great amp will give 450watts rms to any sub @2ohms. Really great deal, got references if needed. All you would need then is some front speakers, sub, and speaker amp.

check out:

speakers: front go with 6.5" coaxials for ur budget.. http://www.thezeb.com cdt-cl6x's

sub: one 12" eD Kx http://www.edesignaudio.com dual 2ohm

sub amp: the one in thread

speaker amp: us acoustics usx2050 http://www.thezeb.com

box: http://www.gnomeaudio.com Get Donn to build you a custom box about 2 cubes ported @30hz that thing will be wangin.

there you go, nice system for cheap

Wiring kit: Scosche EFX two amp 4 guage wiring kit form Walmart

Well rounded system for under $400. Includes everything u need. peace

i would not throw a 1500d at an 88 tbird. my little bros 94 tbird dims like crazy with a jbl600.1

where'd this guy go? he's all wet for an answer right away, and now he doesn't post... oh well. i'm gonna do what most folks do and suggest what i have, 'cause that's what most of my experience is based on:

Profile amp, run in tri-mode (2 front speakers, and a sub bridged on the other 2 channels). then get an Alpine, or Fusion, or Elemental Designs sub. maybe 1 12" would be okay. then some Wal Mart wiring, a couple CDTs from thezeb.com, and "Safety Dance" on cd.. you're all set.
