Ok, I am a complete newb to installing a quality sound system. I really could use some help! Thanks for any help you guys can give! Here is my dilema... for the past 6 months I have been making fg kickpanels and small stuff for a friend of mine. Basically he put the system together (subs, amps and whatnot) and i built the enclosure...thats all i ever did. Now that I have moved I am going to put a system in my truck however never picked up on waht all i will need. So my question is can someone map out everything I'll need for a system? Something like:

Subwoofer 4ohm, Amp 1000W and so on....

thanks a ton!

btw, for us to suggest something more specific, you would have to be a little more specific. what kind of system are you looking for here. Something that sounds like ur live and in concert, or something thats gonna rumble ur car to pieces. Also, an approximate price range you are willing to spend would be beneficial too.

Ok... thanks for all the replies! Thepimpfromchi thats what i was wanting... but since i see the great support i wouldnt mind some more detailed help!

I am driving a 99 Dodge Daktoa Reg Cab. I am looking ot put two 10" subs, one behind each seat. I can build the box without too much a problem, jsut need subs with a fairly small mount depth. Uhmmm, I am not sure as to price range I am looking at... is there any way i can get a list of a Top of the Line system, a Mid Level system, and a Budget system? Thanks if you guys can!!!

What I want to hear really i cant explain. I listen to all kinds of music and just want some good bass.. and hell its fun to boom from time to time.

Thanks for all the help!!

OH.. i already have some simple upgrades in my truck. I am running a SonyCDX-L410X Deck and Pioneer speakers. Two in door, and two in rear. If that helps any. I would like to upgrade to the Sony CDX-M800<>wS('185','5') sometime soon however.

I would buy something like the JL W0 instead if you are looking for a quality sub that plays loud, and these are about the same price as the MTX subs except better. I bought my 12" sub for $129 or so. If you still want three different system's then tell me and i can give you a good list. help w/car audio system -- posted image.
