[QUOTE="grandam888, post: 7377637, member: 628519"] if you REALLY want subs. i would suggest starting with decent equipment. maybe a FI audio X 10" or 12". the 10" is 109.00 and you can always recone it if you blow it or decide to change voice coil configuration. for this sub, shoot for a 400w rms amplifier IGNORE max amperage ratings on all car audio equipment as its used as a marketing gimmick. go with an amp that cea-2006 compliant if possible, as their rms rating will almost always be true. as far as brands of amps, you dont have to be too picky about this part, go with a rockford fosgate, kicker, hifonics, kenwood, alpine. always try used classified(Craigslist, caraudioclassifieds.org, eBay etc) first. if you do buy off Craigslist ALWAYS test the equipment in person before buying. and online try to stay with a seller with high feedback and no negatives if possible. and build your own box, also amp kit wise go with a decent but cheap kit if your on a strict budget. and if yo cannot afford a radio, use a loc. alot of people new to car audio have a habit of buying JUNK audio, and eventuallly build their way up to good equipment, i even did this as a teenegaer. i cannot begin to tell you how many systems i have had in the past 6 years. if i total all the equipment ive bought, i have wasted alot of money.
