You get what you pay for now adays, you spend 200 on a system, it probably wont sound any better if not worse then whats already in your car. |

Bronze Member Username: IronslavePost Number: 47 Registered: Sep-05 | well... i could suggest getting a Kenwood Amp... i have a KAC-7202... ive seen em online at around 117$ 460X1 RMS @4Ohms i dunno if it actually works at that rating but i am satisfied with it... than get on ebay and snatch up an infinity 1230W for 29$ Plus shipping. allthough i havent had issues with it yet... the sub is a 300RMS sub... and the amp is 460 RMS the sub hit so well i acctually had to turn it down....  it needs a 1.25 CFT sealed box with an 11.25 cutout. they have a 1.25 CFT box at walmart for 30$ i think it was... but i dont know the cutout.. they have 500 watt wiring kit for 25$ too. however dont buy ANY of their subs or amps. overall i was pretty satisfied |

A lot of guys will say there's better subs for the same or cheaper, but the type r's are a solid, loud good sounding sub, and they look so much better in my opinion. |

Bronze Member Username: IronslavePost Number: 49 Registered: Sep-05 | well... the 1230's i have are loud.... the SQ is great... and the SPL is ok.... you can actually feel the SPL when you drive... allthough they really arent designed to be SPL speakers... they are refrence series subs though... not perfects... they have a bad history of the lead wires breaking... they arent coated.. they are budget subs.. but unlike other budget subs they still have quality to them... i have a friend with perfects and they are pretty sweet... but they are picky when it comes to boxes... they are best sealed... in my opinion Polk momo arent worth it... but I agree with brett about the Type R's they are good subs... youl still need a wireing kit and need to build your box though... does your 200$ budget include these things or just sub and amp? i would go with the assassin over the infinity though... i just ordered a CDT-CL1215S4 though.. found it on ebay for 60$ never used one before but it is on the highly reccomended portion for the Good bad ugly list. i hear they have some of the best SQ and it still has a good SLP profile too. |

Bronze Member Username: IronslavePost Number: 50 Registered: Sep-05 | oh and also... i was looking at those kicker cvr's today at an audio store... they are way tight... sound good but no SPL... in my opinion... maybe just the stores setup though... |

Gold Member Username: RovinTrinidad & T... Post Number: 5875 Registered: Jul-05 | Yeh Rs r damn good subs imo https://www.ecoustics.com/electronics/forum/car-audio/189456.html but since he wanted 2 spend 200 bux on both a sub/amp it really limits his choices unless u buy a used R on ebay or sumtin . Ebay would be the best option 4 budget good/decent stuff though ........ |
