Should I buy this or something else?

[barqers]

I was just about to purchase these subs + wiring for $100. Is this a good deal?

Depends on your goals.

Thank you for such a quick reply.

Basically I only have speakers in my car currently. I don't want a sub that'll shake my car insanely, I just want a sub that'll be able to hit somewhat low without much distortion (farting noises). I never really turn my volume up past 30/50. So I'm not really pushing it.

Based on the above, would the Visonik subs give a good low bass at medium volumes?

Or should I get these (they come with wiring):

What would you suggest kingmanbc?

I didn't really want to spend over $250 for a sub/amp/wiring kit.

Maybe like $300 ?

Thank you for the link, I will check them out!

I'm sure you could find some used memphis subs and amp somewhere, try ebay or your local dealer also.

 

[barqers]

Okay, thank you! I will check for them online!

to be honest, for what your looking for both setups would be ok. Just keep a realistic idea on what they can do though. They are low end products and if you find yourself trying to push them harder and harder then you need something better.

Okay. Thank you pro-rabbit. I was thinking of just getting the rockford Fosgate subs since I've heard better reviews about them then the Visoniks. I'm searching for some memphis subs used also.

But thank you again. I am very new to this, just got a car 16 days ago.

Just to update:

I bought the rockford fosgate's with the sony xplod 760w 2 channel amp and a wiring kit included.

It sounds incredible. Much much louder than I had expected, and a lot louder than I really wanted lol. It's a really clear bass. The rockfords were in a dual bandpass box.

So anyone else wondering if rockfords will do the trick: they will.

Thanks for the help guys!
