First subwoofer, reasonable setup under 500?

[jcole52]

When I wire up a radio in my truck I hear the radio buzz but the display won’t turn on and the radio won’t play music, when I touch the antenna to the radio it sparks so I guess it is being used as a ground , even though there’s a ground wire

Try looking and yes I did reply but you obviously don't see it.

You didn't like or reply to my Sundown picture. Whatever. Good luck OP. $400 is the new budget.

Y’all keep leaving out a wiring kit. Those aren’t cheap.

OP never mentioned that.

I’m sure he needs one. If he has nothing else I doubt he has cables.

Yea I don’t have that, aren’t they around $50?

Yeah, just shop around, but make sure it’s ofc and not cca. You need at least 4 gauge.

So, what is your total budget? And, what does it have to include? Be real.

$500 for subwoofer, box, amp, wiring. $500 for everything that it takes to get a working sub in my back seat. Really I’d rather spend less but if im going to do it I might as well do it good I guess.

You hooking the amp up to a stock radio or aftermarket with preamp outputs?

Yeah I saw yours, but they weren’t mentioning it during their back and forth so that’s why I brought it back up.

Wiring and install makes a big difference.

Aftermarket, I have a jvc and a Sony and a dual, the Sony has the most outputs, which I guess more is better

I’m installing it myself so no worry about the install price, and the wiring kit is only around $50 so that’s not too bad
