Car Audio Central - Ultimate Car Audio Forum and Community

I'm getting new stuff. It has to be under about $400 and has to be mainly for metal (good for double bass). I like 10's but I can go bigger. I want good and reliable subs and especially an amp that I can trust. As loud as possible without sacrificing price or reliability. I know you guys get a lot of stuff like this but it is very helpful.

Thank you a lot for your help. =)

$400 for amp and sub?

I would probably reccommend a single 10 or 12. Maybe Image Dynamics IDQ series. They can be had for under 200 bux a piece from http://www.woofersetc.com

Re is having a group buy. Two RE 10's would work for ya. For two of em, I think like $120 shipped. I know Justin or Sinister Audio could hook you up with some Elevation Audio comp 10's. They are in your budget range. My sister has some Arc Audio 10's, and they sound hella good. I think the IDQ and the Arc series subs are pretty much the same?

PM Justin or Sinister for a deal on an elevation audio comp. As for an amp. JBL GTO300.1 will work for the RE's or the Elevation Audio comps. And they are good power for cheap. Build your own box too, you can save some money doing that.

I've got some good boxes around here. Is JBL good? I know their receivers arn't too great.

They may be good, but if their not to the specs of the sub, they wont be worth a dime. Jbl amps are great. I just mentioned them because they will work for what you need, and wont rip your wallet. Audiobass ran a MTX 301d I think and it worked great for him, you could go with MTX, decent amps. I know some people don't like MTX on here, but with that low of power. It would work great.
