[QUOTE="Anatreth, post: 8446017, member: 667913"] Hey guys, brand new here. One of my co-workers recommended ya'll. So... I have a 2006 Subaru WRX STi that just had all of the audio equipment stolen. I was running an older sub setup that well.. I had dealt with. I hadn't really wanted to spend the money to upgrade it.. but now I have no choice! So, here's what I had; a Kenwood Excelon DDX-8901HD 8GA wire(I think, could be 6) 2 Kicker C12 4ohm 150watt rms subs in a slotted pre-fab box. They were powered by a bazooka 550watt amp(don't judge me, I was extremely limited of means when I bought them >.>) These were in a slotted box, width 34" x Height 13-1/4" x Depth 16" Constructed with a 1" MDF Front & 3/4" Sides (this is what a quick google search gave me, looks identical to what I had) To give you an idea of how old they were, they were installed by Circuit City... Now.. since i'm starting fresh, I took some idea's from said co-worker, and were working out a gameplan for new audio. I'll probably go along with something like the same headunit(unless I can find one that doesn't bleach out in the sun so bad.. god that mad me mad) Now, for the rest of it.. I have Infinity Kapa's in the doors, 2 6" in front and 2 5x7" in the rear doors. I would like to stick with 12's, i've always liked the stronger bass hit(too much electronic music I guess) Sorry, the car is at the auto-body shop still so I can't give you accurate trunk measurements.. but the last box was pretty damned big, and it fit. For budget? I would like to hopefully spend less than 1200 or so on the subs/enclosure/amp/wiring Right now, we have kinda settled on a; Fosgate R1200-1D for the amp(1200w monoblock@2ohms) Were debating between a set of Fosgate P3D2-12's or JL Audio 12w3v3(tho I think these are only 500watt rms vs the 600 the Fosgates have) Upgrading to 2GA wire He wants to add a Cap.. I don't know enough about them! So here I am in all my noobishniss asking for help! What would you guys recommend? I would like to stick with solid sq and good volume but hey! what do I know. Any advice would be greatly appreciated! -Anatreth edit ( to fix some numbers, and sorry if this should be in general discussion!
