So first thing I have to say is We should definitely add a new audio Section for questions like this. But anyways.... I just got an LED underbody kit installed in my car at a local shop known to be one of the best in the area. While I was inside having the install done I noticed a sign they had up that Said " 600Watt Patriot Amp, Custom built Enclosure, And 2 Patriot 12 inch Subwoofers for $199. And I asked one of the techs there about them and he said he's installed them in about 10 cars and they actually hit pretty hard. I don't have a big budget and I didn't think I'd be able to get subs for quite awhile b/c of how expensive amps, boxes, and the whole deal actually is so this seems a little too good to be true. I also looked up Patriot online and can't hardly find anything about it. Does anyone know anything about these and if so Are they just Pieces of crap or are they ok? Thanks for any help you guys can offer b/c I just don't know

1. They have been adding forums all day so I'm sure there will be an audio one in no time... 2. I have never heard of Patriot either. I did a search online too and didn't find much either. I would be sceptical unless someone can put in a good word about them. Did you ask if their is any way you can hear the setup?
I didn't ask if there was anyway I could hear it just because I didn't notice the sign till Shortly before I left and I They were busy so I only even had a second to ask the tech about them. I'm hoping someone knows something b/c 1) If they are bad I don't want to buy them 2) If they are ok I will buy them and 3) If they are good I could always Let some of you know how to contact the shop and someone else can get in on what sounds like a great deal. So Any advice?

you always get what you pay for. In this world there really is no good cheap deal unless you know somebody. They may be great for just general riding around town listening to them, but don't expect to win any competitions or score big points at shows with them in your car

i agree with glacius. just keep saving till you can get something good. otherwise you'll be kicking your butt about it later when your "discount subs" blow and then you have no money AND no subs

Okay, thanks for the advice. Sounds like it'll be quite awhile before I get some subs. But still, if anyone has heard of these let me know. For now , I'll be waiting. I did just install the LED kit and that really ate up my money. Thanks for the help!

Personally I'm not a big flashy light fan. That money could easily go into upgrading suspension, performance or things like that, but everybody starts off somewhere Keep your eyes on the fleamarkets and what not, quite often I can find stereo shops trying to dump inventory and pickup good deals on something decent like audiobahn subs and the like

well if it is $199, i am guessing they are use or just a cheep brand. Either way if you want them to last i would not suggest them. Cause if they are used, the subs take the most punishment, so buying them used is not a good idea. And well its your money but like what was said you get what you pay for.

I've seen them at local flea markets ... The subs look fairly junky... The amp looks allot like the Pyramid (trash)... I can get the mentioned components 600W amp/sub/Box for $100...
I have R-Types all around in the car. Rear 6x9 front 6.5 and two R-type subs. Amp for the speaks and one amp for each sub. Sounds nice, and not too expensive through eBay.

Mod List. Um WAY too many to fit on here. But the engine can handle about 800HP
Okay, So...Someone told me to check out this website- http://www.ikesound.com And I did. But, As you can tell I do not know anything about how this works such as what kind of Amp goes with what sub etc....If you all went to this site what would be a decent combination of Sub and Amp. Meaning...The cheapest GOOD setup for our cars. I guess I could just have a local shop Build me a box for the Sub/subs??? I dunno exactly what they charge for that though, unless any of you know where to get a cheap box as well. THanks for the help!!
