the amp is an Alphasonic from what it sounds like, which is cheap commercialized shit. read up on here, order some shit, and do your own install. you will be much happier and probably save some money

id say get a good amp first that can give good power to those subs then get the subs, box, wire and have them install it, and you dont need a cap there pretty much pointless to use

For $700 it's not bad for a beginner, ignore bmx. While the amp isn't the best in the world, and the cap is unnecessary, the only thing you'd wanna do on your own is a new box. Just sell that 3.5 cube box on here or ebay and build (or have built) something larger, and ported. Type R's hate sealed enclosures.

Any good of an amp?

Had a buddy that used it to run 2 12" Memphis M3's and had no problem.

Yea i was thinking the same thing. i mean im not 100% sure if thats the size of the box because he gave me that deal today, and i was in a hurry so i couldnt really remember everything. but yea i think its good, i was going to go with a ported box anyway

yea kinda. but i dont wanna **** up so imma have them do it

well you can get all the info you need on here; there are some members still willing to help out, including myself... just pm me. if you know how to install, you should always stear clear of a shop, plus you'll get a better bang for your buck.

well in Chicago i get type R 12's for 110 each, 50 for a decent wiring kit, 40 for a box. I would say that ray is raping you. I will install it in a few weeks if you can wait. I am located on the north side (good side).//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

I wouldn't do it. You can get those subs new for about $250 for the pair online. I haven't heard anything good about Quantum. No need for a cap, and the wiring/box/install is easy and cheap enough to take care of on your own (shouldn't be more than around $100 in materials). That leaves you with $400 to get a good amp.

i installed my first system myself. learned a lot. saved a ton of money and prolly louder than the shop could have gotten it.
