Sup fellas, I'm in trying to upgrade the bass in my Regal, and am wondering if anyone has any suggetions for a amp and sub setup. I dont need the shake the ground every time I roll by, I just want some decent thump for my rap cds. I am also hoping to stay within $500. Any suggetions?

For the subs, i would look for 10" subs either way. This will offer you some nice, tight, punchy bass for your rap. The brands, i would recomment the Eclipse Titanium subs, Alpine Type R, or the JL W0/W3. These subs will be in the 100-150 dollor range or about there. The amp, well you could go with a profile calafornia series, or an MTX thunder series. These amps are nicely priced and arnt the big name brands that will cost more jsut becuase of the logo and name. I would also suggest that when you install these, put them in a properly sized sealed box.

should there be one or two subs? what diffrence does it make, since the power to both subs will be lower. does it just produce the same bass from two sources?

Try a JL Audio W3v2 12" sub in a ported box built to spec. For the amp use a Rockford Fosgate Punch P3001 and wire the sub for 2 ohms. This will leave you with money left to buy a wiring kit for your amp then.

I'll have to concur on custyburbs comment. Jl makes some good stuff IMO. Fosgate althgouh no experience with em seem to be some decent amps. Just do your research.

Thats funny that some one said MTX isnt a big name, since its the second biggest selling name in the states next to rockford.

double-secret reverse-osmosis speaker-cone-induced high-level interference distortion, Its a killer

Wow, that's like saying buy a Yugo or a Chevrolet. MTX = one of the most reliable and stable brands available, with decent quality clean power and accurate specs. Profile = well, I can't think of very many nice things to say about Profile. Their cases look kind of nice. But I could never recomend anyone waste their money on them if they are looking for sound...

lol i'm jut gunna toss this out.

JBL Power P1220DII 299$

HiFonics Warrior Merlin 160$

Not going sound the best sq wise, but it should give you plenty o thump in the trunk.

The amp is 1 ohm stable so wire the sub to 1 ohm and get the full 450 watts. should bump rather nice.

Oh ya you can get both off www.sounddomain.com

Since you are on a tight budget, I would say check out this Soundstream amp. And these Kicker Comp Vr subs. Grab a pair and wire them into 4 ohm. With that amp they will slap and you still have room to grow.
