Gold Member Username: Basshead86Ocala, FL USA Post Number: 1580 Registered: Aug-05 | get 2 Resonant Engineering RE 12's $69 a piece before shipping and a Kicker KX 350.2 wire them in series, and KAPLOW! you have a sweet/quality setup.  |

Silver Member Username: Kd7nfrMontpelier, ID United States Post Number: 906 Registered: Apr-05 | $400? It's gonna be hard to turn heads with that budget... But do what Muddy said, that'll be better than 75% of the systems running around. |

Silver Member Username: RovinTrinidad & T... Post Number: 818 Registered: Jul-05 | JOE (Image Dynamics IDQ 12" or 15" ) --- I was thinking of replacing my current subs with exactly those IDQ 2 12s - have u ever actaully used these or know some1 who has ???. I'm after SQL so i'd prolly go ported if i got a pair of these .....  Nick - i'd get rid of that whole thing & not try to mess around trying it to get better . Nobody uses prefab bandpass boxes nowadays btw , ported is the go now & sealed for more tighter SQ ... |

New member Username: MegamanElk grove, Ca USA Post Number: 5 Registered: Sep-05 | wow bottom of the line? umm how should I be looking at spending for at least middle of the line if you will..cuz if its that crappy i can wait another month and save up to up my budget to 800 |

Silver Member Username: Audiobass10Cape Coral, FL United States Post Number: 244 Registered: Jul-05 | You don't have to spend a lot of money to have a good sounding system. My suggestion is to read up all you can about box building. Get familiar with designing and building boxes. The RE series subs from RE would be great for someone on a low budget as they're around $76 per 12" sub and all you need is 200-350w RMS to a pair for some nice output and SQ. |

New member Username: MegamanElk grove, Ca USA Post Number: 6 Registered: Sep-05 | i guess my other post got deleted..anyway I was think of getting two SE 12s instead of the RE 12s for 338 so that leaves me room to gorw and to get a better amp..so do you guys think that SQ is going to be so much better with the SE 12s that I need to make the switch from the REs? and u said a kicker amp..any suggestions? |

New member Username: MegamanElk grove, Ca USA Post Number: 9 Registered: Sep-05 | ok guys well i'm ready to get these I would really just appreciate this last bit of advice |

Silver Member Username: Alias747MN Post Number: 729 Registered: Apr-05 | Your on a $500 dollar budget and you think you can afford 2 RE SE's? Sorry dude, better look for something else. Even with an $800 it will be tough. Then you need and amp that will give you 1200 wrms, 600 wrms to each sub, which most amps with that much power aren't that cheap. Plus you are going to have to upgrade your alternator for sure if you are pulling that much current. And don't forget to factor wires in your budget, they cost more than you might think. |

Silver Member Username: Sony224422Deep River, CT US Post Number: 209 Registered: Dec-04 | well.. if you already have that sony stuff and the amp and all that, be a newb with it and install it to make sure you do everything right. That way you'll get some bump, im sure it will be sort of loud, but not sound good. In fact i know it will be semi loud and kids will ask you what your bumping. Also, if something goes wrong with it, its ok because its not going to be your good set up. Take it as a training session. |

Bronze Member Username: MegamanElk grove, Ca USA Post Number: 11 Registered: Sep-05 | ok good news I got some more money and I said F it i'm just going to spend the money now so i'm thinking 2 RE SE 10s or 2 RE RE 12s which one do you guys think will be a better value and a kicker amp whatever else I need to spend on batteries or alternators and crap i'll fo w/e it takes |
