if any one has any information or advice to help me out that would be great.

 

you dont have to spend alot of money, just research and shop around...

ok first off it doesnt tell the rms of that sub which is wierd, neve go by teh MAX power b/c thats not what your going ot get, what your going to get is the RMS, im guessing that sub is around 150-200watts rms, so get an amp that is somewhere around there...it doesnt need to be all the way up there but at least a littel over half will push it (which shouldnt be hard b/c thats not a whole lot of power)...i usually shop on ebay.

what kind of box are thinking about getting and where?

 

i was just gonna get a single 12' box off ebay for like $15

if you know any other good subs and amps lemme know. im still looking around. i heard pioneer and alpine are very good. i always thought kenwood was good but some people said they aren't.

 

for that pioneer sub here is the rms specs and every thing from bestbuy. circuit city just sells it for less money.

what about this it looks like a nice deal. not sure if it comes with the amp though it doesn't say. but i'll have to go look.

hmmm i wouldtr say pioneer is good, above stock is what i would call them, or wallet friendly. The audiobahns are preety good but that seems kind of expensive, you can get the same deal on ebay for alot cheaper, but the one good thing about shopping at BB and CC is that you can get a protection planf for 2-4 years, makes it very easy to rplace a sub or amp if it blows...i did it tody as a matter of fact
.

 

yeh i don't wanna go off of ebay for some thing like this because if it blows then im out for all that cash so if i have to pay a little more atleast it will be under warrenty. im not gonna be blasting it 24/7 at like max bass but when i do decide to turn it up i want something strong and if it does blow atleast it will be covered. i guess i will just have to shop around and try to find the best deal i can.

i also found this deal i might go take a look at.

im waiting for a new audibahn 8000T to come for my 2 12" infinitys and i might get a bandpass box or build my own, when i get it wanna see what kind of spl im getting.

 

yeh if i had more cash i would buy a really really good system but im broke so i just want some thing cheap but good to hold me over.

 

im my old car i had those 12's and a custom ported box and a crossfire vr401 and it all about cost me 300$ and alot of ppl said it sounded really good for that price, some kids were paying about 500$ for a system that sounded about the same as mine
