a JL Audio 1000/1 would be perfect for that sub. A very pricey amp, but certainly good. But it'd use up your budget.

You'll need an amplifier installation kit - 4 awg minimum. Good ones run ~$100

what vehicle? what head unit? everything else factory?

there is plenty of information in this forum. start looking around, reading threads, etc. you'll see a lot of the same questions with various answers.

don't hesitate to walk into local car audio shops and talk to them. it's easier to explain this in person than typing in a forum. but if you read enough threads, and spend enough time researching, you can figure out the basics.

or, you can pay a shop to do it for you and just enjoy the music. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

you'll need to determine what size the factory speakers are, what size you can fit, etc. Crutchfield is a decent resource for authorized car audio and they included the necessary installation instructions, brackets, mounts, etc. necessary to do the job.

buying used gear can save you a ton of money, but there are risks. What is the impedance of your JL W7? It should say on the sub (terminals or magnet)

dubstep?

[flooosh]

impedance is measured in ohms. so the impedance of your sub is 3 ohms. If you can find a JL 1000/1 you're in business. or even JL HD750-1 or Alpine PDX1000.1

i know that i want the jl 1000/1 amp but what should i buy to replace my **** factor speakers the only part i have had figured out was the sub and its amp

for speakers, you need to determine what will fit in factory locations or if you are willing to build door pods, kick pods, etc. there are so many choices for speakers, and they all sound different. your best bet is to listen to as many as you can, then make a decision that you like the sound of and that will fit your budget and intended location.

personally, i make the front speakers a priority - i focus most of my effort there.

better get a good comp. set for that type of music. i to listen to dubstep occassionally but i prefer dnb and trance. today i installed my new set of hertz hsk 165's and iam very impressed. the reason y i even bought new spkrs was cuz i wanted more clarity and mid bass for all the dnb trance dubstep cuz as u know, lots of beats per min.
