[QUOTE="Jeffdachef, post: 8325240, member: 650438"] Pre-build sub systems are a lot worse today then back then, dont even bother with em. I'd recommend building a box if you want to keep it cheap and snug fitting. The new kings on the block nowadays is sundown and digital designs. Kicker subs went down hill, JL's prices skyrocketed but technology has not improved much. Alpine is okay still. head unit either alpine 147 bt, clarion cz702(if you want active capabilities), both have modern day features any teen would love with the sound quality to boot(strong DACs, with DTA, EQs, crossovers etc.) Subwoofer, sundown SD series they are shallow mounts that can work fine in ported or sealed boxes. Measure up how much space you have and get a 10 or 12 depending on how much cubic feet you have to work with. The position the sub faces makes a big difference in output and sound quality too. Make sure it has something to load(reflect sound waves) off of. subwoofer amp, alpine mrp 500 if you only want 1 sub. Will give you more recommendations if you plan on running more then one sub.
