Silver Member Username: Kwrubel21Shelby Township, MI United States Post Number: 147 Registered: Dec-05 | my friend just asked me to help him out with a system today. he is looking to spend 700 total. that includes sub, amp, HU, and wiring. we're going to build the box ourselves. he wants one fifteen(due to space issues). i was thinking maybe a 15" type R. what's a decent amp in that price range to push that. also, a decent head unit. nothing too good, hopefully around 100-150. any other suggestions on subs?? i don't want to have to hunt for deals either, something i can get basically anywhere. |

It will give you some head room (about 500W RMS of headroom). Kenwood KDC-MP5032, check for that HU online. E-Bay or Froogle.com. It can be had for less than what Crutchfield wants (199.99). Wire is wire. You can get a decent wiring kit (4 awg.) at Wal-Mart, Scosche. |

Gold Member Username: TdbdadrummerWellsburg, WV USA Post Number: 1055 Registered: Aug-05 | Nope, I mean 500. Check out the price of that amp on E-Bay or Froogle somewhere as well. It can be had for $150 or less. Isaac tested it, and it puts out the 800W RMS it is rated at. You really can't go wrong with it, quite a durable amp. I would suggest Hifonics...But they don't have a very good reputation around here. |

Silver Member Username: Kwrubel21Shelby Township, MI United States Post Number: 149 Registered: Dec-05 | the 15" type r is 750 watts rms, and if the amp is rated at 800, that would be 50 watts of headroom right???? |
