[QUOTE="kross, post: 3279145, member: 577729"] Yes, component speakers sound better than coaxials. For a subwoofer, I don't see how you could go wrong with a Kicker 12" CompVR for $80 shipped: [URL="http://www.woofersetc.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=product.display&product_id=5318"]http://www.woofersetc.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=product.display&product_id=5318[/URL] If you're handy with MDF, you can make a box for it pretty easy, for the cost of a sheet of MDF ($25 at Lowes). Or you can buy a prefab box for about $70. For an amp for the sub, the Profile AP1000M for $100 + s/h should get the job done: [URL="http://www.millionbuy.com/prfap1000m.html"]http://www.millionbuy.com/prfap1000m.html[/URL] Stay away from self powered subs, ala Bazooka tubes. I lost track of what we come to for cost.. Let's see.. $200 Pioneer HU $90 PG comps $86 Profile amp for comps $80 Kicker CVR 12" sub $100 Profile amp for sub ------- $556 + shipping on some of the items Add some for either building a box or buying a prefab, and about another $50-$70 for wiring, and that's a really good upgrade from stock! Keep in mind, this is with all new parts. You can save even more money by shopping the classifieds and ebay. In particular, you can probably find higher quality amps on the used market for about the same price as those new Profile amps, maybe a little more. [/QUOTE]
