Nice, deffinitly going to look into that

I just went through the FAQ section and saw what and what not to buy, and by reading that, I came up with a better set up that I can get for pretty cheap, but there all Highly Recommended...what do ya think?

Those to would go together right? And then I would get that wiring kit someone suggested on the previous page.

Pretty low cost all together and pretty good quality...right? correct me if im wrong :P

What about something like a JL e1200 and a RE 12". That puts you at around $200, add some box materials and a wiring kit and you are at $250. Will sound pretty nice.

Well you will need to find an amp that is stable to either 1 ohm or 4 ohm mono, or 2 ohm stereo.

I would suggest between 800-1000 rms TOTAL for the 2 subs.

Check out the FAQ for a listing of decent amps and shop around to choose the one that suits you best.

Geez..Talk about totally geting ripped on the shipping.

Good subs though. Find a nice amp that puts out 1k-1.2k at 1ohm if you're going with the Dual 4 ohm version. Those subs can actually handle a lot more power than what they're rated for. They sound real nice sealed and ported as well, but i'd reccomend ported for optimum performance. For amps on a budge, it's gunna be hard to beat an Orion. True, Orion isn't what it use to be, but that holds true for just about every other mainstream company (besides JL). Orion still makes solid amplifiers and they put out their rated power. Also, Viper and DEI amps are very similar and good for budget amps.

US $73.95

I'd say! Good subs tho. Look into a JBL amp. Great bang for the buck. The BP lines are stable to 1 ohm load too

++EDIT++ Now that I re-read everything, im looking for the wrong thing...I think, any im confused, heh. Any suggestions? Be it Jbl or Orion, whatever will give me good quality and will put the subs to there best performance

Thanks

Another question, I hate when cars drive by and the trunk rattles and it sounds horrible. So, I want to deaden' the sound a bit in the trunk...so I searched sound deadaner on Ebay, and found stuff I could use

http://cgi.ebay.com/50-Sound-Deadener-Dynamat-Sample_W0QQitemZ5880376808QQcategoryZ67760QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem]Yet another link

I was thinking of getting that, would that be suitable for what I want? Exactly what would I do to...does it go behind the trunk lining? confused.

Thanks, you guys are awesome.
