System or rims?

Right now i have a problem. I have some money to put into my car. I already have a system with 1 12W3 JL running off of a JL 250/1. For 600 dollars, i can give the store my amp and sub, and they will give me the JL High Output enclosure with 2 12's and a 500/1 amp for 600 dollars. Or I can spend the money on new wheels to replace my stock 15's. I am split down the middle, so i need your personal opinions on this. Thanks.

Do what you want but if you already have a system I'd go with performance or rims.

Rims! No doubt about it! Rims! 17s atleast. Don't forget lowering springs. Besides subs weigh you down!

I'm not sure what kind of rims/tires you can get for $600, assuming that's what you're looking to spend.

In that case I would go with some go-fast mods... $600 is good for intake, y-pipe and other misc exhaust components.

Either way, I'd go for the rims or mods over the stereo.

smart answer, he's a 1/3 or a 1/4 way there. Get some performmance mods for Christ's sake, unless you're the kinda person who drives their car with the seats in the "sleping" position. In that case get yourself some 18" subs and a 20,000watt amp. Why do you have 15" subs get 2 10's from JL and enjoy the quality...
