Post Number: 14836 Registered: Jul-05 | for 500 i see 2 options after u get ur HU & wires buy a 4 chan amp to play the whole set = a pair of speakers upfront & usually a 1 12" 300wrms sub on chan 3&4 OR buy a bass amp with a sub & listen to ur stocks speakers & then upgrade ur speakers & add a mids\highs amp alter on either option u shud build the box urself to save some $ ... |
New member Username: Isai013Post Number: 4 Registered: Apr-09 | the speakers in the car are actually pretty good. so what kind of subs and amp. should I go with the mtx is that a good quality brand? like I said I like a lot of bass but I want it to be good quality. |
Gold Member Username: Loc_outTeam RE XXX Post Number: 2808 Registered: Feb-05 | If you plan on keep the stock speaker. I'd go with something around 600-1000Rms |
New member Username: Isai013Post Number: 5 Registered: Apr-09 | I was thinking of that at least for now. but no one has any suggestion on what type of subs to get I don't know much about what are good brands so I don't want to buy something that might break in a month. |

I'm still fairly new to car audio and I went with RD Audio subs. You can talk to one of those guys directly if you were to go that way. Good customer service. Other than that I was recomended these brands, just a few but may be a start: Fi RD Audio RE JL Just check some out and match it to your budget. |
