[QUOTE="sjv13, post: 7922157, member: 632245"] Yes, sundown makes excellent products. If you are not going to be using an amp and getting new speakers, you will only need/want one sub. More than one will be unnecessary and will drown out your speakers. I have one Alpine Type-R 12" (I love it to death) being powered with 500 watts and it POUNDS. and I also have aftermarket speakers being run with an amp and the single sub keeps up fine on 90% of songs to my liking. For a car stereo set up with a sub, here is what you will need: - Head unit that has 3 sets of RCA outputs (sometimes referred to as 6 preouts) - 500-600 watt RMS amp for one SA-10 or SA-12 - 4 gauge amp wiring kit (that way you wont need to run new wire if you do any upgrading in the future) - SA-10 or SA-12 (DVC 4-ohm) - Ported enclosure (if you want loud); custom ported enclosure if you want to maximize your equipment (trust me, it makes the sub better in every way possible) Since you are so new to car audio, I would recommend having someone install everything for you. If you want to do it yourself, make sure you understand how to wire everything, can take apart the interior of your car, know how to make a GOOD ground connection, have lots of time, and have lots of patience.
