license suspended, gotta build a new system

[collin.k 10+ year member]

well my license got suspended for two months and i figured if i'm going to be spending the time waiting to drive, i may as well build a new system. my old setup was a c12 and a jl 12w4 with an amp running each one and also an amp running the speakers. it was a pretty cookie cutter system but it was pretty bumpin. this time i want to go bigger, much bigger, but still without completley going broke. i was thinkin, since im in BC and have my N, i could build a box that would fit in my backseat (88 accord) so nobody could sit back there and i could finally put shit in my trunk again! i was looking around at websites like the onlinecarstereo on the front page here and ebay and i want two 15's. i saw all those deals on ebay for the two subs and amp and wiring kit all that jazz and i was wonderin if those were any good. also, should i stay away from refurb'd stuff? thanks

oh no dont worry about that. i originally got my license suspended because somebody in my car smelt like weed but not having it is more than enough motivation to not **** it up again. anyways, whats with the sub/amp combos on ebay? legit or no-so good

If you want opinions, provide model numbers and/or links to the equipment you're looking at.

Pioneer TS-W3002D4 (tsw3002d4) - 12" Subwoofers - Sonic Electronix

well theres the subs i was thinking of. i already have two of the same ones, except last years model and ones blown.

this is the amp i was looking at

Lanzar VBP281 4200 Watts 2 Channel High Power MOSFET Amplifier

I wouldn't buy that amp.

You should probably know that you don't need a 2 channel amplifier. If you buy those particular subs, look for a mono amp that'll do somewhere around 2,000 watts rms @ 1 ohm.

You'll probably need to do the big 3 upgrade and install a second battery as well. You may even need a high output alternator, but I can't say that for sure without knowing the specs of your current alt...

well alright, but i thought a mono amp was only meant to be running one sub. i only want one amp and two subs. forgive my uneducated-ness //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/tongue.gif.6130eb82179565f6db8d26d6001dcd24.gif

okay thanks that helped out alot. so if i was getting two 4ohm dvc subs with a total 2000rms, this amp would be suitable?
