More advice, please?

Alright, So my new budget is around 600 dollars, for 2 10s, Box, Amp, Wiring kit(possibly get it professionally installed). What's the best setup you would recommend, for slap your momma bass?

you could save money by installing the wiring kit yourself. not hard at all, you don't need any special knowledge, typically. just connect to the battery, run through firewall into your vehicle. trickiest part is hiding the wire under kick panels and what-not. don't forget the ground wire either, but thats pretty easy too.



600 isn't much, my advice is look for a used box. try and get a good deal on that. As far as new, you might be stretching it. I'd say ~275 for a decent amp, about 100 or a little more for a good wiring kit, possibly 400 or more for two new subs. you could buy used, but you don't know if the person before beat the speakers up. lets see that is...775. :o your in the negative already.


If you went used amp + box + speakers, you could drop your whole price down to about 400. Trust me, I've built decent sounding systems for the price of an amp and a wiring kit. But my friends always have speakers and boxes around.


What type of cab configuration do you have?

Supercrew, I want the box under the back seat. I can probably get a wiring kit for my birthday coming up in May, so that would cut me some slack there. So I guess, 600 for Subs, Box, Amp?

2 Elemental Deisgns 11kv.2 subwoofers will run you 200 bucks for both. They are a great deal, and are pretty good subwoofers compared to your other underseat options.

Build the Box. It might cost you 50-60 bucks for materials. But if you cant, get the supercrewsound box for like 150 bucks.

That leaves almost 250-300 bucks for a quality amplifier.

Those subwoofers hit pretty well? That's a good setup, Thanks.

What amp would be good, they RMS 300 and Peak at 600.
