Looking for Sub's and amp for a 2014 GMC SierraI

[rlemieux]

I just purchased a 2014 GMC Sierra Crew cab SLT. While the stock Bose system is quite good, I want to give it a little more bass and am thinking about adding two 10's and a amp to the stock head unit and system. I personally haven't kept up with car audio for years, but want something that has good quality and will compliment the stock system already in the vehicle. I've looked at the Fox Box and seem to like what I've read. I called two local install dealers. One pushed Memphis Audio and the other Digital Design. The Memphis Audio with a 600 watt amp installed was around 850 (carpeted box, not the fox box) and the Digital Design with a 1000 watt amp was around 1000 (this was quoted with the fox box).

I used to dabble in car audio years ago and feel like I can save some cash doing the install myself but I'm so far out of date with the equipment I'd prefer some advice. Two 10's, amp and box under the 850 mark (preferably around or under 600 is what I'm looking to spend). I'm not looking for anything serious. I'm just wanted some quality bass to enhance my listening experience. Any and all suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Here's what I did:

http://www.caraudio.com/forums/car-audio-build-logs-cars-trucks-suvs/598744-build-log-boss-truck.html

amp - $120

subs- $120

box- $100 stay away from OBCON - there are cheap box-builders on this site that would do much better.

amp kit- $30

hi-low converter - $17

Total was about $400 in the sub stage.

I've since spent another $160 on subs, $30ish on some 3" aero-ports and $80 worth of tools I need to build my own box just because I'm never satisfied and I'm use to LOUD systems.

I try to warn people of this, if something is too good to be true it usually is

True. I have a customer / friend who bought a vfl 4480 from them that is bad he's been trying to get a hold of them for a few weeks now to return it It's a risk you take
