ok, so i have a head unit (Kenwood KDC-176S) and i have the regular stock speakers in the front doors, and i have boston accostics rm6's in the back. so i was wondering what i should get in the trunk...i don't want to spend a ton on money i want to just have my music (rap/hip-hop) to sound good. i have about 400-500 bucks to spend...

ohh ya remember i am 17 years old...

 

For that price you could do a Kicker Solobaric and a nice mono amp. I just installed a similar setup in mine and am very impressed. Still fine tuning it but getting closer.

 

Arc Audio KAR series subs, paired with a KAR series amp....

well i really only want 1 sub

 

eclipse alum/titanium

 

Note his budget....

tempest with a 300-400 watt amp. then id upgrade the fronts with the extra dough.

 

he could still do it.

 

jbl 300watt amp on sounddomain. 150 dollars. and basically any sub

 

i say get a JLw6 and a nice mono amp to push that. for the money JL isnt too bad, i presonally prefer Image Dynamics. I am soon going to try out some Brahma's to see what the hype is all about. alipine type r's arent bad either u can do a nice 10 or 12 with a 350 watt alpine mono amp for about 4-500 bux

 

Maybe if he took the Fleabay/no warranty whatsoever route...Otherwise with a good amp to pair up with it, hell be beyond his budget.

pearl is right on. otherwise, a mbq discus 12 with a rf mono amp. you would have to shop around and you could find it authorized for less than that. install it yourself and you could get some nice speakers for the front.

 

as it was told to me, for your first system, go to like circuit city, or best buy and try out different setups... i did and i found the perfect match for my taste...

everyone has different opinons...

 

A DD Audio 1012 sub with a Kicker KX 400.1 amp would be pretty nice.

www.ddaudio.com, call them theyll tell you where you can get a sub near you.

Id just go ebay for the amp...

Just trying to expand the options.

 

Adire Shiva
Adire Tempest
Oz Matrix Elite 12
Image Dynamics IDv.3

All of those subs are 150 or less and will make you smile. As for amps, find something used on ebay or forum classifides. Don't forget, you have to buy wiring and a box.

 

alright if i were to go on to ebay for the amp what would i need to power a solobaric L7 12 in (x1)

 

something between 500rms and 1000rms.

 

consider, switching your rears to the front...better sound stage in front, less SQ and volume is needed for rear fill...you got enough input to deal with on the amp/sun question, just thought it might help....anyone else agree?

 

Just remember for a GOOD amp your gonna be paying roughly 1$ per watt rms.

 

...A ZR1000, 1,000-1500 watts can be had for under $300 in many cases....sometimes even refurbed...and unless an idiot installed them and an even bigger idiot used it, they will last longer than a twinkie
