[QUOTE="SounDrive, post: 8093502, member: 653833"] I'll go ahead an re-emphasize this: BUY USED. I've spent a total of about $1000 on my system but it would have been much more if it was new. For you, I'd probably recommend a single 12 for right now. I doubt you've ever heard a REAL system with one good quality 12. Most people who have 2 12s have some cheap crap that seems loud but really isn't. One high quality 12 will blow 2 cheap 12s out of the water. Here's my suggestion for a cheap system: HU: Really, anything you can find used with 2 or 3 sets of preouts (leaves you room to upgrade door speakers later on) Brands to look for: Pioneer, Kenwood, Clarion, & Eclipse Sub Amp: Look for a used Hifonics or MB Quart amp if you want something cheap that'll put out the power it says it does Sub: Again, look for used. American Bass, Sundown, AQ, Fi, Incriminator, etc Enclosure: Get a ported enclosure professionally built by [USER=637354]@double 07[/USER] ; [/QUOTE]
