[Fazzio]

So you guys are gonna have fun with this one.

A 12 inch sub:

Matching amp:

Wiring:

Box:

The sub can be around 250.

Amp doesn't matter heard kicker wiring was really good.

Box doesnt matter.

Wiring doesn't matter.

I have heard good things about the Alpine Type R, Rockford Fosgate p3d4,Sundown SA-12.

I'm still new to matching amps and stuff so help would be appreciated.

Goals for the system? Loud as heck? Slams the lows? And total budget

I'm going for chest shaking bass but without losing like total quality. I want them to get LOW. Total budget 250 for subs + matching amp idk how much, wiring is the kicker wiring, and the box should under 100 if that's ok.

I also drive a 2014 Kia forte. And the sub will be in the trunk.

So total budget for subs and amp is $250? a box under 100?

My honest opinion is that you need to save more money. You're not going to be happy with what you get if you want chest shaking and lows.

The enclosure is probably the most important aspect though, you're going to want to spend $200-400 dollars there.

And skip the overpriced Kicker wire. There are direct suppliers that have better wire for less. Like Knuconceptz. Just make sure you get the OFC

Here is what $250 will get you for a sub and amp.

This setup will give you some bass but it won't be chest shaking bass you are looking for. Like was said above you will need to save up some money if you want that.

Look around the forums and craigslist and you may find some good deals on some used gear.

Best for a tight budget - American Bass XFL 15 - Skar lp 750 - and this box https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00NG38MZ8/ref=mp_s_a_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1489424257&sr=8-5&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_QL65&keywords=15%22+sub+box&dpPl=1&dpID=41DeqNfxMGL&ref=plSrch

X2 if you can get an extra 100 bucks I would jump on the cab1600 http://www.caraudiobargain.com/new-cab-1600-1-amplifier/

Welding 1/0 wire is by far the best option for wire

Agreed. If you use the skar then pure copper 4ga would work. The cab is a good amp for the price. There's also the audiopipe 1500 for $150

Those sundowns are monsters and I would think that if you drop your seats you could probably get more of that sound into your area and many will disagree but I've had the hifonix amps and they slammed my sundowns hard!!! I think the sundown sub is 750rms so a 1000 to 1500 rms amp should slam it hard since I hear the subs take more than they rms for. You can also build a box for under 100$ - get a design thru someone from here - That's my two cents ..

My buddy bought a ported prefab enclosure from here...

Bright Star Car Audio

the quality is pretty good for the price. If you can't afford to have a good builder build you one I'd recommend them for a budget build.

yeah knukoncepts good wire.. look at Rockford 750.1 amp amazon, cab has more power but u may have to do big 3 wires under hood to run that without light dimming issues.. everyone recommend sundown e to me when I asked.. if u don't care about sq sound qubed 12's have great reviews about how loud they are $109 also guy on eaby he's a sq dealer makes and sell custom boxes with sq 12's for like $160 shipped (that's shipped to nc he's in nh) the box is worth that., birch wood very nice I get u link.. I have brightstar box from ebay it's built fine nothing wrong with it but port should be bigger and for any of those subs it maybe a little tight it says 1.75 cf but it's really 1.63 cf ad (most subs need 2) and it's tuned to 35 not 32 or 33 like they say which is fine my pioneer says it needs 1.5cf so I got that box but it seems to "tight" so I put it in old box 1.8 cf sounds better.. pick sub and let us help u with ported box most prefabs are way off they cf and tuning they say cause they don't subtract port or sub displacement.. http://www.ebay.com/sch/northeastbassfactory/m.html?item=281812541234&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2562 call him with what u want and he'll give u price with sub and box he sells ab too, but it takes a month or more to get box from him they make them per order..
