^^^^ I just noted this a few posts up.

What vehicle is the audio going into, does she have a decent 4awg wire setup and ran or 8awg? Does she have a head unit?(This last one isnt really of relevance, I'm just curious)

its a hyndai tiberon its a hatch

If it were me

Two 12's ported

Single amp

Par Se - - - Two Type R 12's on an amp that does 1500 rms

Around 400 bucks and some searching would probably get her two 12" R's and a PA3000DB or similar amplifier...

If you have to go cheaper, go with Comp VR's and a cheaper 1k rms amplifier

And if you want Crackhead cheap, buy two 12" Hifonics HFI's and a 500rms amp and say to hell with it haha

I made the same mistake, bro....

IT'S A TRAP!!

I got her 2 12" P3's, wiring, RSD's, A Zapco Amp (I'M AN IDIOT) and a G&S6000, which seemed like such a good amp...

With her money, of course. I got a great deal, all for under $500.

She stopped talking to me swiftly after I tuned the amps... as in that night.

I'm sure you remember this fiasco, Rash.

I can post OP for the link. I thought we were gunna be friends and what not afterwards... and I was wrong. But, it's a life experience and you live and learn...

But, let my experience teach you.

Oh... I did. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

One day when I was running wires, I stopped mid way, and we got it on. I doubt she even wanted to. But she did anyway.

But you know what? I'm perfectly okay with that.
