[QUOTE="ivj, post: 2292582, member: 571546"] Well research is what I'm doing now.. As for the comment that mixing diferent subs is a bad idea - I'm not an audio expert, but from my Phys 203 education I can HIGHLY disagree with what you're saying. After all, why do they make 4-way speakers? If I have 2 12" playing on mid-low, and one 18" playing on low - how's that a "bad idea"? Can someone clear this up? As for how much I want to spend - I have no idea. I'll definitely be building all the enclosures myself, so I have to figure out if going with 2 12s and 1 18 is a good idea or not. I mean I want both, quality, and loud. A good mix of both. Not really top-end, but good (and my definition of good is I'll be enjoying the music, really, 4 4-way speakers for my old camry did it for me for under $100). But I also want loud. This time. So really, I need amp (no idea how much power, besides, from what I hear, most manuf. put BS power ratings on their amps), 3 subs, 4 speakers, 2 tweeters, the deck, the wires, and the fuse. I don't want to spend more than $1,000, and I want to find good deals overtime, because what I have right now is decent and works. So any thoughts? [/QUOTE]
