two jbl gt120 12" subs on sale at best buy for 195 incl. tax. 80 oz magnets and 13mm x-max, plus they sound pretty good. Look for a cheap sub amp(can PM me for a good deal on a class D pioneer 500-600 watts @ 2ohms). Use your deck to power the other speaks and you are thumping all over town at 135+ db.

wat kinda car you got?

looking more for loudness, or sound quality?

Mazda MX-3 Precidia. I'm a sound quality guy...

Everyone else thanks for the help! </font>[/QUOTE]Right on [img]graemlins/thumb.gif[/img] I use a MX3 for comps. You can make them stupid loud for SPL

. They also can sound amazing, but do a nice job on the install. (keep it clean)

I wish I would have stopped at $500! LOL. It's sad to think that I have spent more on audio equipment than I have on my taxes.

a single 12 can do wonders in that car.

a friend of mine has that car with some ****ty 12 and about 280 watts rms and it pounds good. so u jsut need a good SQ 12 in a nice sealed box and your in business.
