what are your goals for how the system should sound? what kind of music do you listen to? what's your budget?

um mostly rap..i like alot of bassy techno..i want something that give me a a good base..someone suggested two 12" kickers with a alpine amp?

 

[Beatwithoutbass 10+ year member]

my budget is like a grand

an alpine amp would probably work well but i wouldnt get kickers.

when it comes to making the enclosure, i highly suggest talking to pro-rabbit. he designs, builds and ships out the enclosure to you. he does amazing stuff.

my budget is like a grand

wire kit: 4 Gauge Amplifier Installation Kit

amp: AQ1200D Amplifier

that amp does 1200 @ 1 ohm, which gives you about 600w per sub to work with. pair of SA-12's would work well

they're $195 new, but that doesn't take into account the shipping. i would say $220 each.

Sundown Audio SA-12 600 watt sub woofer

you would want to get dual 4 coils, but that doesn't seem to be an option for some reason. maybe jacob has a reason for this //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/confused.gif.e820e0216602db4765798ac39d28caa9.gif

I would say if your going to spend the money on some decent equipment then you should read alot of the how to threads on here and possibly meet up with members in your area to try and help you install so you can learn. I learned by trial and eror and have wasted alot of money by blowing **** up but hey its all part of it IMO.

Yep, also recommend reading up. This stuff isnt rocket science, but getting your learn on can save you a lot of cash from having others install it for you or you doing it without doing much research and blowing ish up!

Most of us have been there though.

Do some reading. There is a ton of info. Maybe if someone is close to ya, they could give you a hand and you could learn off them.

Good luck!
