Fried needs help getting started, this is what he had in mind...

I need some helping choosing components for my new system. I'll be listening to mostly rap with the system so I want something that provides a lot of bass and hits hard. I want atleast 12" subs, maybe 2 with a ported box. I'd like to keep everything around $1k, preferably cheaper

This is what I'm thinking, feedback would be great:

(2x) Alpine Type R 12"

(1x) Rockford Fosgate 3000 Watt Amp

(2x) Alpine Type R 6x9 front speakers

(1x) MP3/CD Head Unit - Still haven't found a decent one.

Would this be what I'm looking for?

what do you guys think, is it a good starter up?

also click on the products to go to there picture

do you think that amp will go good for those subs?

please let me know asap, as he wants to get started already thanks guy for your help

for one, that's no where near a 3000 watt amp

Looks good man, except for the 6x9's... Look into a pair of 2 way circular speakers, 6x9's are garbage.

atleast it doesn't look like it. my guess would be it's a 1002, not a 10002.

It says 1000w RMS, so 3kw would be peak power...

Regardless, it will run those Type R's effectively. And Rockford makes awsome amplifiers.

you're probably right. that would make sense. so it would be 500 each channel. i just thought it was misadvertised.

and yes, rockford does make solid amps. it's just that i've got a 5002 and it looks consiberably larger than that one, although it may just be the pics, who knows

i hate when rockford puts out max power.

my friend bought a rockford 900

but the 900 was max, it would hard to convience him other wise tho.
