[QUOTE="Moofs, post: 7300692, member: 632103"] So my last setup cost me in total, $300 dollars. I'm trying to put together another setup now. The type of music I listen to is mostly rock/indie and rap. I dont plan to compete in any spl contests nor am I crazy about insane bass. I listen at normal levels or slightly loud. I'm looking for a setup that sounds better than the average car. I'm also trying to make this a pretty cheap setup since I will be doing everything myself so if I mess something up at least it wont be expensive. Plus I'm a college kid and I dont have $$$ to spend on a lot of audio gear. I'm looking into a 4 channel amp, gonna amp the front speakers and bridge 2 channels for the sub. I'm gonna leave the rears alone for now. So here is what I'm thinking.... Front components: Cadence CWM-6KIT Aluminum 6.5" Component Kit $70 Amp: MB Quart ONX4.125 $150 HU: Sony CDX-GT350MP $85 Amp kit: Knu konceptz 4g amp kit, I'll also wire all the speakers with 12g speaker wire. $110 I'll get a custom ported box, tuned around 35hz prob. But I can't decide on a sub. The amp will produce 500watts rms at 4 ohms. I was thinking about getting an RE SEX12D2, T3 T.400 or SKAR Audio VVX-12 (idc about the guy being a scammer, I hear they are good for the $). All those subs are rated at 600rms though, while the T3 is 400rms. Will only giving them 500rms power be okay? I'm looking for a sub that can play lows decently well. (but that will be up to the box) So guys, I'm looking to spend around $600 total. Can you suggest a 500rms @ 4ohm 12 inch sub? And can you improve on my setup at all? Maybe suggest another part for around the same price that would be better or cost less? Thanks! [/QUOTE]
