[QUOTE="GBloes, post: 8747252, member: 682063"] If I were you,... depending upon budget: get AudioControls 4 channel 50w amp [(~320) it’s sound quality will be better than most at that price] and the best speakers you can afford, definitely run them passive unless you can swing for a decent DSP/DSP amp. After which get the best sub with whatever’s left of your budget. Personally I think there’s no point in spending much on a sub if it’s at the expense of everything else. At the level you’re talking about an extra $200 spent on everything else will make vastly more difference than getting a $400 sub over one for $200. Bottom line, unless you’re spending over $1,000 on everything else it’s pointless to get anything other than a cheap sub. Can always upgrade that later. But, again, spending $500 on a sub and $500 on everything else won’t sound anywhere near as good as $200 on a sub and $800 on everything else. Unless you want to wake babies when you drive by and/or are spending thousands. That’s my personal opinion but if you’re on a budget and rattling windows isn’t an objective, skimp on the sub.
