whats your budget. can be done super cheap or spend alot of money all depending on how crazy you want to get. see my small build thread for my escape. nothing crazy but works nice. i have much bigger setups in my other cars

Go to wal mart and get a 10 inch pioneer and a pioneer 2 channel amp.Cheap and u be surprised the bass it has..It is not the best system but it is decent and for the money pretty cheap.

Thye sell everyhting u need there.sub,amp,wiring kit..When i had them in my cherokee i hooked one up to a 2 channel pioneer sub bridged..Sounded pretty good for a system for around $200..

[MiggyTheTank]

You could get something like this too. This is my MTX Thunderform with a 12" MTX sub hooked up to a amp. It's molded to the side so it wont interfere with your cargo.

and the more the merrier! I'm hungry!
:hyst:

But in all seriousness, it all depends on if you want to hear it, or are wanting everyone withing a 6 block radius to hear it.

 

[MiggyTheTank]

i like the one that sits on the side, but im not one of those guys that wants everyone in a mile radius to hear me, just a decent one, how is that one that is molded to the side?

 

[fordman93]

Thanks for makeing me even more hungry... :lol:
I love my alpine type r 12 in the sealed box I have. The box was $40 at gibralter trade center if u know where thats at. And the amp is an alpine m500 which I bought on ebay for $140 new. The sub was $120 new. So all together $300. Sounds great and only takes up some of my trunk space.

 

[MiggyTheTank]

Yea i know where thats at, im almost there every weekend :lol:

My factory Mach sub is pretty good. I run a good mix of different kinds music, and have a filter set from the headunit to 50k. It rattles the mirrors, but you can't really hear it outside of the E. It's good enough for me I took the factory box out when I was in High School, and pulled out the foam deadening they put in it. I personally like the sound better that way.

It's nowhere near going to sound as good as an aftermarket, but it takes up 0 space, and adds a nice bump compared to having none

I currently have a kicker solobaric s12l7 in a ported box in my 2005 XLT powered by a kicker ZX400.1 (I know it's underpowered, I'm getting 1000 watts soon) and it is beyond loud. I payed just below $400 for the set up but it'll bump forever.

I like kicker a lot and would get either a comp or cvr subwoofer with a 400 watt amp. Kicker will give you your best bang for your buck but alpine, Rockford Fosgate, and pioneer are all quality.

I wouldn't get that west coast customs one, it is easy to setup but is also way overpriced and not worth it.

Search on ebay and half price car audio.com for refurbished stuff. It's brand new but way cheaper.

Hope I could help

 

[MiggyTheTank]

oh alright what is a good size amp? and what should i be looking for? because im clueless! :lol:

 

[cam1134]

Any quality brand (kicker, JL, Rockford Fosgate, Alpine) with at least 400 watts will give you plenty of bump.

Here are my personal favorites:

www.halfpricecaraudio.com/Kicker-ZX400. ... ZX4001.htm

www.halfpricecaraudio.com/Rockford-Fosg ... Series.htm

www.hifisoundconnection.com/Shop/Contro ... /SFV/30046

www.sonicelectronix.com/item_12018_Alpine-MRP-M500.html

You can also search ebay and Google shopping for more deals on these, but they're all good amps. Try to buy new or factory refurbished because it's hard to trust a used amp

 

[fordman93]

+1 on those sites.. Ive bought off sonic electronics and the prices are great and they have a good selection. Ebay is where I got most of my other stuff. FYI the places like car tunes and micky shorr jack the prices wayyy up. I like those stores and they do good work I had my car alarm installed at car tunes to save the hassel, but for buying car audio products i would shop online.

whats the best size sub woofer?

 

[fordman93]

what kind of music do you usually listen too? alot of ppl say 10" subs are better for rock and have tighter bass and some ppl say 12" subs have deeper lower bass for rap. I dont know how true this really is though. Ive always thought if it has enough power it should sound good enough and work for all music for most people

 

[MiggyTheTank]

i have a wide range of music i listen to but i mostly listen to hip-hop/rap and country :lol: like channel 9.55, 98.7, and 99.5

 

[fordman93]

I am the EXACT way ! :lol: I love 955 963 102.7 and 97.9. and the canadian country station 95.9 lol .. but if I were you ide probably get a 10 inch since you dont want to take up alot of space and dont want too much "bump"!
