[QUOTE="Flex68, post: 7805252, member: 638503"] My suggestion is to stop thinking about doing it all at one time on that small a budget. As Keith noted, forget about replacing the stock HU at this point, and follow the above advice on your sub+amp. Sundown or Obsidian would be a solid choice for a single 12" sub, and Lanzar makes decent amps for someone on your budget, esp if you can find a used OPTI Whether you buy new or used, understand that purchasing higher quality stuff now is the best way to go, for two reasons: 1) You get what you pay for , and you aren't going to be happy with the way cheap shizz performs, anyway; and, 2) A quality sub and amp will hold their value so that when you decide to sell and re-do (and you will), you can recoup most of your initial investment.
