Thanks death, I really appreciate it. Do you have any other suggestions? I'd be willing to spend up to 300 dollars to get myself up and running.
I'd say spend about 100 bucks on each part of the system. But we've got to take the wiring into account. 4 guage would handle most amps easily and you can pick up 4 guage wiring kit for around 50 bucks, but if all your going to run is around 1200 peak theres a cheaper way
with 300 dollars ide pick up a pair of those RE REx subs
there plenty powerful, keep in mind there the lowest line of RE's. Or you could go for 1 RE SRx for the same price as the who lower models. Either way the RE's are some of the best subs out there and at that price there screamingly cheap. Both ideas would be around 100 bucks
For the amplifier shoot for around 200 to 300 watts rms max per sub. So pick up an amp that does around 400 to 500 watts rms total. Mono block or 2 channel is fine since those subs have dual voice coils, and you can pick up an amp with that power for around 80 bucks. Just make sure to check its power ratings
For the box the best way to go is ported. And theres alot of good boxes our there. You can build one yourself on the cheap but unless you have some experience you could end up with somthing thats not so good. As for me i built my first box myself. It looks great since the subs fireing into the cabin in a flush mounted panel in the pass through whole between the seats. And it makes alot of wind and power. But i know i could have made it more efficient. So i'd say pick up a well designed prefabricated box. Either way a good box will yet again be in the 80 to 100 dollar range.
For the wiring kit if all your running is 1200 watts peak then you can pick up the scosche wiring kit from walmart for around 35 bucks its only 6 Gauge wire. Its pretty cheap and it never let me down while i used it.
Otherwise i wouldn't recommend a single amp we sell at best buy for this particular application unless you go to the online store. We carry some great ones but there higher priced than i'd like. Nor would i recommended kicker for the guy above who posted it, kickers higher end subs are pretty great as are there higher end amps but there not worth it for their low priced stuff.
Search websites like sonic electronix and others. Just make sure there authorized online dealers, this will help if you ever have warranty issues. I know for a fact that sonic is because I've called quite a few of the brands they sell directly to ask.
Whatever you decide or if you have any questions about anything post it on here or send me a message. I'd go web browsing to find a setup for you but i'm currently busy with a pile of work as well as finding parts for my best friends audio build and my next audio build which is gonna run me close to 2 grand.
