A little bass and I listen to rap just doesn't fly with me. You are after something that will smack you upside the head for output aren't you? You can get a not bad system for $600.00. Is that inc. taxes and wiring or + taxes and wiring. Have you given thought to a box as well? Is it something you want to try and build or do you want to go with the generic prefab box and hope for the best?

Well i guess im lookin for the best i can get fer that much.. wiring and a Hopeforthebest box is included in that 600. Unless makign a box is cheaper.. cause i dont know how and theres not a place around here to get one custom made but i could go a bit over my price prolly just trying to keep it around that range.

Do you have a Home Depot or similar type store near you? If so, we can design the box for you and then you can go to the hardware store and have them make all the cuts for you. I bet that if you took a case of beer to a kitchen counter maker on a hot friday afternoon he would also make the cuts for you. Offer him a trade... If you have a drill, some drill bits and a screwdriver, we can teach you how to assemble your box after it is all cut properly. By lining something up like this you can get a better sub or bigger amp for that matter. I hate to say it but you can also get a basic precut box from Walmart that will do the trick as well. You can always build the proper sub box next month or the month after, whenever $ allow. Consider this and see if it makes sense or not.

This way we can get you a good single high outut 12" and a amp (maybe even a pair of 12's) to do the job for properly for you.
