Cool. Sounds like an option. I'm leaning towards that RE SE, but the $185 price kind of throws me off. However, I do have a little bit of extra money to use.

I'm open to more opinions though, any other suggestions?

honestly uner $200 is "cheap" for a good 12" sub. Very cheap. A lot of subs in the class of the SE would be $350+

I've got around $320 at the moment. Would probably like to keep around $70 just for gas or something. But, I'm probably going to go ahead and buy that kicker amplifer and some wires, soon.

Haven't decided on a sub yet, one mb quart ref appealed to me, 500 watt rms dvc 4 ohm for $100. And of course the RE SE 12 for like $185 or so. I'll see how my money works out and how much a box cost and I'll decide which one I want.

Haven't looked at too many speakers, but for a kicker 550.3 amp, how much RMS am I looking at for 2 ohm speakers and 4 ohm speakers?

And, once I get my amp all bought and everything, which upgrade should I do first, subwoofer or speakers? Subwoofer should cost a bit more, but im planning to eventually upgrade everything so yah.
