Okay, budget is good. Are you looking for SQ or SPL? How many watts are you looking to run? Stay away from Kickers if possible. There are better subs for about the same cost. Let us know these things and some of us will be able to help.

Well I need a new HU and really just subs and an amp is wht I'm lookin for. If I was goin to get new speakers I would do tht later bc budget is sort of tight at the moment

sure

Two Fi X 12" subwoofers with BP option (single 4 ohm voice coil) -- $280
https://ssl.perfora.net/www.ficaraudio.com/sess/utn154c58489f19b83/shopdata/0050 _Speakers/0045_X/product_overview.shopscript

One Audiodue AQ1200D Amplifier -- $250
http://www.audioque.com/aq/?page_id=26

This would be 870 wrms at 2 ohms to power the subwoofers

ALSO

DLS C6A - 6.5" 2-Way Component System -- $170
http://www.woofersetc.com/p7159/C6A--DLS-65"-2Way-Component-System.htm

Kicker 08ZX200.2 -- $100
http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_11542_Kicker+08ZX200.2.html

that would be about $800 total
that should leave enough hopefully to get a amplifier kit, wire for the big 3 upgrade, and a box.


all of those are just suggestions. there are many other routes to go

FI, RE, DD, Audioque are better than type r's/L7. IMO.

I'll pass on the MTX. I had a single 15" RE SE on my 94 accord. With a mmats 1600.2 amp and it was loud and clean. I was going to upgrade to a SX ported but sold my ride.

Mike,

Here are some used RE SE 125 plus shipping. This will allow you to have more money for a nice set of comp.

Thats a great price on those SE's.
Very comparable to the Fi SSD (obviously). Maybe just a bit more on the SQ side IMO.
And an AQ 1200D would be great for one of those.

if you are looking for a mix of sq and spl, that RE SE at that price would be really hard to beat.
