Yeah man, you can do better. What's your budget?

Search around on this forum, you'll find a lot.

First question, do you want to listen to someone who knows what they're talking about or just listen to yourself and ignore the adivce? Is this just gonna be for beatn' around the block and not competeing?

I'm willing to spend more but not break the bank over it. I could probably throw a few hundred more into the bank if it makes sense. What do you suggest?

1000 bucks is a pretty decent budget if you've already got the head unit. Let's see what I can figure out.

 

[neo_styles 10+ year member]

What kind of sound are you looking for? SQ,SQL, or SPL?

 

[snoopdan 5,000+ posts]

APSM-1500 - $129

XFL 12's - $200 each

you can keep the box ya got, won't make much difference.

BOOM!

[naughtyca 10+ year member]

1000 is a lot of money if you want just subs of rms 400watts, look at the 600watt range subwoofers like Skar, sundown, ssa, etc..

look at this store you cannot go wrong on any sub here

Sub Woofers - SSA STORE
