Car Audio Rookie here, need help with brand new system.

[1017Audio]

So basically I'm planning on investing in some subs for my car. Preferable two 12 "s. The kind of bass I am aiming for is low and also bump at the same time.

I can give you some examples of what kind of music I will plan on playing.

What type of car is it going in? What is your budget?

what equipment do you already have?

 

[C1500martin 10+ year member]

single 15 ported. why? 1 sub is cheaper than 2,

on around 1k watts. why? wont need electrical upgrades most likely

custom ported box. why? well thats a dumb question

ofc 4 gauge amp kit. why? its the good shit

tuned to 32-35 hz. why? so he can get low and also have some high bass

This^

What kind of space? If you don't have enough space for a box, don't try and cram a 15.

yes this is assuming you can fit a 15, because if not you won't fit 2 12's either

Or upgrade to 0 gauge if you can! I mean why not it leaves you space for upgrades

Finally, someone who comes here before they buy a Boss amp and Rockford subs. Thank you, and good decision

True, one "underground" 12 can out-do some larger mainstream subs

ouch... well... with that

you can go the used route and save some money.

your keeping the stock deck im assuming since changing it would eat all your budget becasue of our dumb cars.

well i will upgrade in the future as the checks roll in, but i want to start off good. btw my installation is going to be free, and so is an amp i might be getting

honestly best bang for buck will be soundqubed hds315 bundle which is $440. then your amp kit which will be around $60, ported box around $250 shipped to you, and lc2i like $80

youll have to find a used sq1200 or a similar becasue their out of stock or wait a month or so and have a little mre money and buy everything at once when it comes out

That's good. Your knowledge will save you money on installation.

I've got some beats, lol.
