[QUOTE="skylineTT, post: 6219633, member: 576995"] you can buy a good pioneer Head unit for around 150 installed. go ahead and buy a 4gauge amp kit so that you can run any amps upto about 1200 watts, buy yourself an amp and sub from this forums classifieds and try to get a sub that will handle the power. youre going to probably ask us about impedances next.. soo.. if your amp does a certain amount of power at 1ohm, youll need a sub that can be wired to 1ohm. if it does rated power at 2ohms, youll need a sub that can be wired to 2 ohms. for 1 ohm, you will need a dual 2ohm subwoofer and for a 2 ohm load, you will need a dual 4ohm sub. you can get a 12" Type R for about 100-120 bucks in good shape and they will give you plenty of bass for starting. it sounds like we are all type R nuthuggers but buying used is a good deal. then you will want an amp that does about 1000 watts. the hifonix bxi1200d would be alright or a kicker zx1000.1 (better), or alpine 1000.1(also better), and others also. stay away from dual, sony, boss, nitro, pyramid, pyle, phoenix digital, visonik, and any of those very cheap brands. they will **** and they will **** badly. edit: buy the kicker KS series speakers from hifisoundconnection.com because they are like half off and some of the best speakers i have heard amplified and off of head unit power.
