Honestly, if I were you, I'd save up about 500 bucks to get a sub or two that will be worthwhile. Spending a little extra money on your system will make it sound much, much better. Those Pioneer subs are pretty much crap. Low output, so-so SQ, and 0 lows. You get what you pay for.
If I were you, I'd be patient and wait on another Kicker BOGO on CVRs. $150 for a pair can't be beaten. Also, for a budget amp, go to http://www.profileusa.com, to their online store. Their amps are inexpensive, yet reliable.

Where can I find those Kicker subs you were talking about for $150 a pair?

And http://www.profileusa.com only has one amp for sale online. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif

Yea, a ghetto rig mayne, lol. But no buying from Best Buy or Circuit City? Where am I supposed to go then?

 

[Sh1zn1t 10+ year member]

No, I'm lookin at it, and they have several amps...

In the online store area, lol.

EDIT: My bad, lol. My screen just didn't load the bottom at first, lmao.

So which ones should I get?

 

[Sh1zn1t 10+ year member]

*bump*

 

[Sh1zn1t 10+ year member]

Okay, I have $300 right now, and willing to blow it all on a decent system.

I would preferably have two 10's.

How should I set that'n up?

 

[Sh1zn1t 10+ year member]

Haha, yea a 15 is huge for a 'stang. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif

Oh, and **** I just found this seller guy. These seem like really cheap prices. But almost too cheap...

Those are 150w RMS... For that price you can get something better... Check out

millionbuy.com

cardomain.com

partsexpress.com

You can put the amp wherever you want. Just make sure that you can get your wires through the back seat.

did your budget change or what not? anyway, those are the prices you can get for on ebay as well. but since you want to go to circuit city and best buy, yes they are cheap compared to them.

 

[Sh1zn1t 10+ year member]

No, my budget didn't change, well, not very much. I have $290 right now.

Hey, I bought an enclosure and subs today. Honestly just got impatient and saw a pretty good deal on some subs and an enclosure.

Here's the setup:

Xplode 12" 1300 watt sub

http://www.crutchfield.com/App/Product/Item/Main.aspx?g=520&i=158XSL124&tp=111

And an enclosure that barely fits my trunk, but I squeezed it in. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

All with a 2 year warranty. For $220.

Now I need a amp. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif

 

[Anniku989 10+ year member]

Sorry man, but those ****.

I would go with what I have currently.

2 Memphis Street Edge 12's ($100 for both, 200rms)

MA Audio 1889i (ow w/e amp you can find) $90

Wally world wire kit $35

Materials for box ~$20-30

$240 for that, you'd have an amp, box, wire, subs, everything, and I guarantee you mine will blow those outta the water

 

[benzmansl65amg 10+ year member]

Return NOW or listen to distortion

 

[Anniku989 10+ year member]

You must not have read much if you thought those were a good buy...

Sorry to be kicking you down, but should have said something before you splurged.

 

[Sh1zn1t 10+ year member]

Awwwwwwwww, really?

**** my life! They sounded good in-store!

Those 12's fit just barely, too! God****it.
