My friend wants to get a system for 250.00. That means, subs, amp, box. Wants a mixture of spl and sq because he doesnt always listen to rap. I buy all my items on ebay so therefore i can get things alot cheaper. Just wanted other peoples opionons on what you could get for that kind of money. I suggested some mtx 6000 or 8000. Let me know what you think...

go with kicker cvr 12 or 15" (like $80 on ebay)theyre loud and actually sound real good for the money. get a $40 box, $30 wiring kit. this leaves you 100 for an amp, you be able to find somethin for 100 bucks.

db has a point kicker is a good product just stay away from the square ones, i would go with a 10 inch its only 300 watts rms,, oh that subwoofer is only 84 dollars off of ebay, you can get a good slot ported box to go along with it for around $50.00, your up to 134 there, go to walmart and get a 8 gauge wiring kit for around 12 dollars, thats 146, now that leaves you 104 dollars, i dont like boss but your friend is cheap so this amp BOSS AUDIO C-550 or one better if you can find it cheaper. i dont like boss personally but if he isnt willing to spend more cash he shouldnt have a system :-) oh and i would wire that sub up in a 8 ohm load then bridge it that should give the amp a 4 ohm load pushing enough for that sub it says 800 watts peak which probably means like 300 watts rms.. cuz thats boss for you.. but hey.. you get what you pay for. (oh and guys plz dont jump my @ss about the boss stuff i know it isnt the best but the kid is on a budget. .heh)
(oh that sub link is this http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=39772%26item%3D5770988690 %26%26 or the item number is 5770988690 if the link doesnt work just search for the item number.)
The link for that boss is http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=79818%26item%3D5770023273 &rd=
or this item number 5770023273)
Total cost of that system is around $242.oo or he could save up and get a good amp.

check this out, it is the older comp but i had one and they are awesome

im not sure why its so low but the company is a powerseller and trustable. plus this sub is only 150w rms, which means you could get a cheaper, better amp since less power is needed. low rms means nothing when it comes to subs (those 1000w rms subs are for bragging rights). believe me, this sub is loud!

the 100 dollar amp would be this one in my opinion

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=18797%26item%3D5769513791 %26

this sub in dual 4 ohm might be able to find one on ebay but i couldnt just now one anyway

for notations sake i have my cousin hooked up with a profile 400 amp and a kicker c comp 12 entry line and i metered him to hit at least 127 db but i had to set the gain and bass boost just right it went from 124 db to 127 db just by setting the gains right....its in a 3.60 cf box tuned to 39 hz and the sq is much beter than the 1.50 cf sealed box it was in ...that high port tune is only because the box was cut down and we left the ports alone which raised the port tune from 36 hz to 39 hz

i think the cvr 12 would hit harder and sound even better on the amp i recommended
