Hey,

I've been looking into getting a system. Ive been looking at subs and amps and stuff, and im not sure if what i've picked is good. Im not looking for Jl's or anything outragous...just something that can give me decent sound and much more bass..

So, I've found this

http://cgi.ebay.com/4-Ch-Car-Audio-Amplifier-2-12-Subwoofers-Subs-Amps-NR_W0QQitemZ5881015373QQcategoryZ4950QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

And well, tis cheap. even I know that...but how loud will this be? Is it going to loud to where people in there houses will here the bass?

Also, what else to do I need to install. Please dont temp. me into going and getting it installed professionally, I love cars...and the only thing I probably havent done is set up a system. So besides this, what else do I need to get it going?

P.s.-I already have a head unit.


Thanks

that stuff is trash. remeber, you get what you pay for. But you would need a wiring kit.... a FUSED power wire from your battery to the amp,a ground wire, a set of RCA's that from the head unit to the amp, a remote turn on wire, and then speaker wire to connect the subs. you'd also need a box for the subs... but again, i and most likely every here will tell you that stuff is going to be no good.

Seriously that stuff isnt worth the money.

You can go about this two ways, the hard way or the easy way.

Hard way is buying something like that then a month later realizing it was a $100 mistake.

Easy way is to take that money and put it towards something thats quality and will last. By no means am I sugguesting something real pricey, but it will be more than $100.

You can get a single 12" RE series sub for about $80. THen find a nice low powered amp for it for probably about $100-150. Add some wiring and you will be in the 200-300 area...

HAHA...yea, I looked around and saw that people hate the trashy stuff, which is understandable....so I searched a little more

What If I got this (sub's)
Subs

And this(amp)
Amp

Would they go together?

Heres a simple wiring kit I found aswell...would that cover everything?
Wiring Kit

I can't thank you enough

-Thanks

are you in the UK? because that wiring kit is being sold form there... and that too is crap.
get this:
http://cgi.ebay.com/KnuKonceptz-Complet ... dZViewItem

or this: (depending on amps)
http://cgi.ebay.com/KnuKonceptz-Blue-Pe ... dZViewItem

to expand on what ryan said.. you can probably get 2 RE RE12" subs for under $200.... pick up an amp that'll do around 400W RMS @ 4 ohms and the KnuKonceptz 4guage kit i suggested
