I like how all of the sudden I am the "type R guy" outta no where LOL......Just saying for that budget that would be a good simple system...Hey, if you want to buy your LA gear then do it- i personally believe you are wiping your *** with your cash if you do that. Even the type-r guy had a way better suggestion for a total system for your current budget- and there are a ton of subs that will sound fantastic for less jack than that memphis. Are you just looking amp/sub, or are you wanting components and an amp for those too for that amount?
