Little brother needs helping picking a system

[LilBassGuy 10+ year member]

Alright fellas, here it goes...

My little brother is ready to buy his first system for his truck. He just called me from walmart looking at the sony Xplodes for 60 bucks and Pioneer 10's for 50 a piece. Obviously, I told him stay AWAY but I need some help finding him a nice CHEAP setup.

I installed a 10inch Assassin powered by an aura amp in the trunk of my dads lincoln and my brother likes the sound. Problem is, I dont think the assassins are on sale anymore (picked up that one for 45).

So here it is: we want a nice sub setup consisting of 1 10" sub, amp, box, and wiring kit for, here's the kicker, UNDER 200 dollars. Can it be done? Or should we just send him back to walmart to have his hopes and dreams to find good sound shattered to tiny pieces by Mr. Xplode?

Thanks to all replies, any suggestion is appreciated...

Also, I do not mind buying online. I dont even mind buying from the classifieds if the source is trustworthy. The setup is going in a 1993 Chevy Ext cab pickup. He listens to mostly rock.

That comes pretty close to $200, he might have to save for another week for some wires and MDF, But it better than Sony.

I've got a hifonics bx1000d that I'm selling for 135 shipped. I doubt you will find a better deal on such power.
