Need some advice for lower budget system
 

Due to a low budget of around $400-500cdn, what amp and 12" sub/driver models do you guys recommend? Haven't installed anything in a number of years now and not sure what's good and lower priced.

SoundQubed (formerly audioque) has some nice amps. Not sure if shipping is free to Canada still.

Anyways, recommendations really appreciated! :)

I have had a lot of good luck installing Alpine's MRP-M500. It's reliable and solid.

For 500w I wouldn't go too crazy on the woofer. A JL 12W1v3-2 will show that amp 2ohms and leave enough money to pick up a vented box for it.

Have had good luck with power bass product, Cerwin vega and db drive at that price point
Have an Audison lrx 2.4 and choice of subs in the buy and sell that are in your budget. Much better than anything new in that price range
