Where in Canada are you? Is your budget just on equipment including taxes or is it an installed price including taxes, wire etc. At least we finally know that you want to go for SPL. But seeing as you are seemingly new to this, it would best to do this in baby steps, do not bite off more than you can chew. The big bad subs and amps are all good but an amp cannot make power unless it is given power, thus the carging system of the vehicle is going to need a major overhaul. Are you going to do this one step at a time or say screw it Rob, here is my cash what are you going to do with it. I and others can recommend lots of things for you, the trick is to match it together correctly and for it to be used properly. What is your idea of loud? Have you been to a contest before to get an idea of loud and do you have an idea of how loud it takes to cause permanent hearing damage. This should concern you.

I live in Quebec, and you ? Is there any contests in Quebec ?

Look, I have about $2500us for everything that makes sound, if I can tell it like this(amps, subs, car charging system etc) ... and about 500$ for the wires and all the rest of the equipment, if it costs me less, I'll use it for installation costs ... it's my friend (who know exactly what he is doing) who gonna make the installation so, for this side, it'll not be so expensive ... I know what I want and, at the same time, don't know ... I want to participate in spl contests, and win ! but, I'll use this car every day, until I can buy another one ... so it has to be, with strong volume, a winning system and, with low volume, maybe an extremely loud system, but I don't want permanent hearing damage ...

Is that possible ? and if so, when I'll buy a new car, will I be able to remove it and reinstall it in the new car ?

thx alot

Titaniums in Canada are hella expensive and he would really have to step up for an amp, this would kill his budget in a hurry. I'll work on something and post it up later on.

hmm sounds interesting...how about you get you some kappas up from which will run you about 300 for 2 pairs + add about an 85w eclipse amp to that...which i would guess is upwards of 300so killed 600us on highs alone guesstament which leaves you with 1900usd with that im guessing you could do good damage....btw are you looking at buying online or local shops? cuz that could also be a factor.... for subs id say go with some diamond audio TDX, Adire Brahma, JL W7, MTX 9500, or L7 4 10s of either one with proper amp on each of course....im guessing that would run you right up there... im saying 10s b/c you can fit more and its tighter bass imo
