[QUOTE="keep_hope_alive, post: 7386695, member: 576029"] nice is relative. there is a lot of nice gear in the Classifieds section to get you some nice output in your price range. if you're car is currently 100% factory, then you'll have money in interfaces so you can get a signal and turn-on from the factory head unit. figure that the interface and wiring is gonna run at least $100. A good sub amp new is $300-$500, you don't need more than 500-750W RMS for a single driver to get good output. I think that a nice 12" sub properly installed and powered, is plenty of output for 90% of the population. some people don't like music and want more bass than the sound system can support - they put in lots of subs and sub amps but nothing for speakers and they sound like a dogpile. and some want the entire package - loud music + loud bass.
