[QUOTE="Phatillusion, post: 19961, member: 541271"] You'll probably want to go with one 12", some cheap reliable starter amps are sony, profile. JBL also makes several very affordable amps, that are relatively low priced. As for a h/u, you'd probably want to look into pioneer, some of their cheaper models are fairly good compared to other companies higher priced models. As for your sub, you'll probably want a sub that requires little space as possible. You want a good system so I suggest you get a good sub. A good sub can make up what your h/u and amp might lack. If you or your friends have the tools to build a custom enclosure, then you might as well take advantage of that, it can help you cut costs. As for your wiring, don't worry about top of the line. The internet is a good place to shop, you can find killer deals, but you also have to beware of rip offs, or too good to be true's. With $500 I'd probably break it down something like this: H/U- You can get a decent one for around 150-175 amp- around $200 Sub- need a good one around 150 Wiring, enclosure, etc- depending on your resources you would be looking at about a little less than a 100 But like I said you can cut corners, find good deals, you may even find a good amp for 150, or a good sub for 125.
