Girlfriends system

ok so my gf has got herself a new car, a 2000 subaru outback and it came with a pioneer package, cassette hu with a cd changer and some components. I havent really looked at it closely yet. She loves the sound except it is lacking with low end and wants a small sub or subs to add some bass to her system. She doesn't want to spend much on wiring, box amp and subs. Maybe a couple hundred or so... She just wants it to sound good and not cost much... This is not really my realm I would go with a Fi q and with everything it would be outside her budget. I will be getting her an amp for her components as they are run off the HU right now... but she will be getting the rest.

So any thoughts?

for sub amp box and wiring a couple hundred maybe 300 tops(maybe!) as cheap as possible, she isn't into audio but is missing bass.

get a JL 8 or similar, maybe a 10, then build a super nice box for it. Maybe a T-line or a bandpass to get a flat response. If you could build yourself to save money, good. then buy nicer equipment.

eric the t3 sub i said is just as good as the ones you listed an cheaper.

makinblak that would be a ton of work for just a regular system where she just wants some low end.

well their the lowest level so its not gonna be ear bleeding loud but id compare them to kicker cvr or equalivent yet with a touch better sq. i love t3 was gonna get a t2000 before i found my sig an had it reconed. i mean 51shipped for a 250wrms 12 is a good deal. if your gf just wants some low end should be great, make a decent ported box and have a decent amp that does rated power with no clipping and your good to go. and youll be really happy when your gf pays you back with some bumpin in the bedroom lmao.

no i get that but that acoustic audio bass 12 deal... thats is what i was referring to.. She will be buying her gear. I may be able to convince her to spend a little more and get a fi q... I dont know... but i do know that the acoustic audio thing... not going to happen, T3 maybe...

ya i was jk dude about the acoustic bass. and t3 is good just as good as fi IMO. and a fi q is a big step up from a t200 in price an performance.

not yet still talking options... we were talking about it tonight, looks like i will be making a fiberglass box similar to the stealth box JL makes So that will be fun... looking at the t3's maybe a fi q or x... a 10 or 12 depending on how much space i can talk her out of..

I think a 10" Fi Q would be a great choice. It may be a little more money but it will perform well in a small sealed enclosure, so you'll be able to get a good level of performance without taking up a lot of room.
