I just a new car and im having a difficult time getting started. first of all I don't have much money, I like a lot of bass with a good quality sound to it. I don't want something expensive but don't want something that will break in a month. any suggestion will be very helpful thx. |

Gold Member Username: Loc_outTeam RE XXX Post Number: 2808 Registered: Feb-05 | If you plan on keep the stock speaker. I'd go with something around 600-1000Rms |

New member Username: Isai013Post Number: 5 Registered: Apr-09 | I was thinking of that at least for now. but no one has any suggestion on what type of subs to get I don't know much about what are good brands so I don't want to buy something that might break in a month. |

I'm still fairly new to car audio and I went with RD Audio subs. You can talk to one of those guys directly if you were to go that way. Good customer service. Other than that I was recomended these brands, just a few but may be a start: Fi RD Audio RE JL Just check some out and match it to your budget. |
