[QUOTE="Jeffdachef, post: 8354465, member: 650438"] kenwood kentucky fried chickens.... no idea why they used that acronym lol. I'd say you can build a nice system. You can get plenty loud and sound great with your current kenwood amp. Just get a single 15 it'll be close to 2 12s but it will get very loud and sound great since you will have the budget for a custom ported box which is the most important part of the setup. around $160 to $220 for the sub, A single sundown SA 15 D4 fits the bill, Or FU audio 15 d4 made in usa subs. Both choices will work fine on your kenwood amp. The rest of the budget can go into mids, highs proper sub box (no ebay/amazon bullsheit) As for the subwoofer enclosure, it can be real cheap if you build it yourself, but if you need a custom enclosure, some members on this site can build and ship you one for a lot less than what car audio shops outside will charge. 60 dollars for DIY and rough ballpark of 120-180 shipped depending on how fancy the enclosure is. Here is what a single sundown SA 12 can do on only 500 watts in a proper box [MEDIA=youtube]n1hO_ggr4zk[/MEDIA] $230 for 4 channel amp which powers both rear and front speakers: [URL="http://www.soundqubed.com/Q4-90_p_252.html"]Q4-90[/URL] $130 Front: [URL="http://www.vertexaudio.com/Incriminator-Audio-I65c-6-5-Component-set-p/ia-i65c.htm"]Incriminator Audio I65c 6.5 Component set[/URL] 110$ Rear: [URL="http://www.vertexaudio.com/Incriminator-Audio-I65-6-5-Coaxial-Set-p/ia-i65.htm"]Incriminator Audio I65 6.5" Coaxial Set[/URL] 70 dollars for the amp kit for 4 channel amp [URL="http://www.amazon.com/KnuKonceptz-Kolossus-Gauge-Amplifier-Installation/dp/B005CIJBKK"]http://www.amazon.com/KnuKonceptz-Kolossus-Gauge-Amplifier-Installation/dp/B005CIJBKK[/URL] Since the amp kit is for a 2 channel amp, you will need another set of RCAs [URL="http://www.amazon.com/KnuKonceptz-Bassik-Channel-Braid-Shielded/dp/B00DJ7JKE8"]http://www.amazon.com/KnuKonceptz-Bassik-Channel-Braid-Shielded/dp/B00DJ7JKE8[/URL] If the amp kit is better than the current wire you have in your car atm, then switch out the power wire you have powering the kenwood with this good power wire and use the old kit for the 4 channel. 45$ electrical upgrades [URL="http://www.droppinhzcaraudio.com/sky-high-car-audio-big-3-upgrade-kit/"]http://www.droppinhzcaraudio.com/sky-high-car-audio-big-3-upgrade-kit/[/URL] this helps your system charge efficiently to get the current you need from your alternator to your amps.
