newbie

a few questions. im planning on getting a couple fosgate stage 1 15's, and the Alpine MRP-M350 to power them(parallel wiring). i am also waiting on a CDA-9827. Would this be a decent system? also, is there anyone on the .org that could get me a good deal for all of this? i am also planning on building a custom box, and i was wondering how strong i should make it... help appreciated in advance.

rockford sub? i dont know man... how much do you want to spend? and a 15 isnt really all that good in a max trunk, not that much air to move. Youd be better off with 2 12s.

I'm pretty sure you'd want to repalce the bose speakers if you're replacing everything else. I just redid my system from bose, and the impression I got was I really should replace everything. I was thinking about changing everything but the speakers, but a shop warned me against it, so I just put some pioneer's in.

You'd definately want to replace the blowz and get some upgraded speakers.

Get 2 subs, a nice amp, 4 speakers, another amp and a HU and you'll have one kick **** system.

I definitely agree. If you've got the money to spend, go with 2 12" Brahmas, a new HU and a nice amp. Also, since your spending all your money all ready, spend a little more and replace the bose, you wont regret it.
