Again I said used or new, Car audio classifieds have some good deals, but id get serious input here. I listen rap 90% of the time. and then metal 9%, old 80s pop 1% haha. Looking for something louder than the 2 12" sony explods at 150rms a piece..

I agree on the you not getting much for 200 to 250 bucks. If I were you, I'd check the local forums. Sometimes people will sell the systems pretty cheap there. I, myself, recently sold a pair of solobarrics in a local forum. But really 250 for an amp, subs, and enclosure is going to be hard to come by.

I should Have said just for subs. Id spend a max of like 150 for subs. I can build my own enclosures. and an amp is like 100 dollars so its all good. I might buy my neighbors 15" L5, with the amp and enclosure. He got it for realllly cheap so I should get it for around 100-150 lool.

said before, that price won't get you a lot, but it will still be better than sony crap. best bang for buck in that price range would be used. new my sub alone cost $200, not including bigger wiring, and amp, and box building supplies.

ask the neighbor guy about that L5. if you can get it all for that price it wouldn't be bad. truthfully i wouldn't get a L5 for myself, less quality than my L7.

i figured that, but what size is the wire, 8 awg i'm guessing for what you were running before. you start having a &^%^& system, depending how big, you will need 4 awg, and anything over 1200w should be 1\0 awg.

Nah 4 AWG. some of these beastly Monster RCAs my uncle gave me for free that were like 100 dollars. haha.

a bigger system or a &^%^& system?

just having subs isn't gonna sound that good. if i were you, i'd invest in some quality front speakers (if you have a strong aftermarket head unit).

so i guess that really means i firstly suggest a good quality aftermarket head unit.

the stock speakers aren't bad, but i'd upgrade them after you get a new deck.

forget about the back speakers, the stocks are totally sufficient. i upgraded mine and regret changing.

then i'd get a sub and amp. basic, solid brands are kicker, alpine, jl, pioneer, kenwood. GET A GOOD QUALITY AMP. if it's cheap, it's not worth it.

buying used through craigslist and buy n sell will cut costs a lot, but expect to pay upwards of $500 for a solid system that you will keep for years.

my recommendation is to buy a good box that is within the manufacturer's specification for the sub, unless you are really experienced at building boxes. ported or sealed matters a lot, both in terms of sound and the box specs. ported box=bigger box, boomier sound. sealed box=smaller box, tighter sound. i dunno how you like your music...some people just like the loudest bass possible and don't care about sound quality; the more shit that shakes and rattles is better... i personally changed a ported 12" kicker cvr for a sealed infinity 12" and now things are tight and crisp.

i got a kenwood excelon xxv-01d deck off craigslist for $220
crutchfield had a huge sale on infinity, so i got a 12" sub, 4x6 doors and 6x9 rear for under 350 (shipping is free, even to hawaii). like i said, i regret buying the rear ones cause they don't make a difference. fuhgeddabout it. i installed the speakers myself. i had a kicker 200 watt amp already in the car, which cost under 200, installed.

ok, so if you bothered to read this far and just want subs/amp and screw everything else, i'd buy a sealed box for 2 12" kicker cvrs which i can find around here all for under $200 new plus an amp that would push them with around 300 watts each. the amp will be expensive, even used. don't get sony again.

Not effing Cool.

Get 1 Type R for ~$100, and a good amp for it with the other $150. Build your own box for ~$40, and it'll be LOUD, and still pretty clear (well, as best as you can get for a lil under $300). Make sure you give it lots of breathing room.
