[QUOTE="Witty690, post: 3427235, member: 575942"] First off, I suggest Mach 5 for your subwoofer. They have several very cheap subwoofers, and they are very decent quality. Best bang for the buck in my opinion. I got an MJ-18 for $120 shipped to my door. Thing is beautiful, been feeding it 750 watts for about a month now, and it performs great. Not the loudest, but it gets the job done. Also I believe you can find Kicker CVR's for like $60 shipped. Havent heard them before, but Ive heard good things. Then there's always the Type-R, beasty and relatively cheap at about $150 shipped on ebay, maybe even less. For an amp, just try to find one that matches the wattage and impedance you need. You have to find out how much wattage the subwoofer can take, and find out what impedance youre going to run it at. You have to make sure the amp not only puts out that much wattage at that impedance, but you have to make sure its stable at that ohm rating. So decide what subwoofer you want to get, and then try to find an amp that will give it the power it needs. If he's not an audiophile, then it should be very easy to please him with $273. But you may also have to build/buy the box, so dont forget to account for that. Also, even though he may not want used equipment, you can find some GREAT deals in the classifieds section.
