Sound Quality Combo??

[BNolan12 10+ year member]

I'm getting a 1.3cu. ft. ported box made for my truck (Isuzu I-280) for 1 10" sub. I was wondering whats some good name brands for sound quality without running me broke. Looking for a single 10" sub and amp combo. What do you guys recommend i look for??

I recommend deciding on a sub BEFORE buying a box! That way you can buy/design a box that will work perfectly with the sub you choose.

9 times out of 10, a generic box will not be the right tuning or size for your sub.

I also recommend not posting questions in the classified ads. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

Fi x 10" sub 109 + ship new, as far as amps go what is your budget?

Yeh it has been forever since I used this site and I didn't realize I was in the classifieds until it was too late. Lol I moved it to the discussion though

I dont really have a "set budget" but at the same time i dont wanna spend my whole paycheck on a combo. Yeh i want it to sound good but at the same time i'm never gonna be in any competetions or anything like that.

Get this 2011 AUTOTEK M2000 4 Channel 2000W Car Amplifier Amp | eBay Super cheap but decent budget 4 channel, Get the Fi'x in a 4ohm coil bridge the rear channel to the sub and use the front 2 for your fronts.

Amp probably does around 400rms bridges at 4ohm.

alright thanks for your input, anyone else have any suggestions? Just trying to look at a few different options

Check out Crescendo Audio for mids and amps... They're decent if your on a budget. For a subwoofer, I wouldn't have anything to suggest except TC Sounds. Look for an Epic/TC-1000/TC2+, though a 10" will be kinda hard to find used. They're about $190 new. It's expensive, but they are great drivers for their price.

It can be kinda hard to get good SQ on a budget... You can easily spend $2,000 on a good SQ system...

SQ and budget do not belong in the same sentance.

The heck they dont. Ive got about $600 into my build. That includes everything you see in my profile.

i'm willing to spend a lil but as far as getting into the $1,000s just for music, I don't do enough with my music to spend all that.

More info on my box if this helps for a better sub choice, its 1.3 cubic feet with 13" mounting depth tuned to 34Hz.
