Well right now I only have 250 At the most to spend. I may just have to save up for awhile, B/c I dunno if it's possible to get a setup for that. Currently in my Car I have an Infinity Kappa Component setup but I have no subs. I love to crank the bass in my music And My 6X9's Do put out good bass for a car stereo but they're just lacking The punch Subs offer and I need that b/c I love the bass line and I'd just love the sound when I roll into a parking lot too. I mean I like to show off a little but I don't need any competition winning setups, just something to keep me happy and give me the bass I need in my music. I don't care if it's one sub , 2 subs, A Tube , whatever. I just don't know What I need at all I guess. So I guess I just need help.

If you like Infinity stick with it, great brand.

http://cgi.ebay.com/2-INFINITY-KAPPA-PERFECT12-1-12-SUBS-PERFECT-12-1-NEW_W0QQitemZ5829203260QQcategoryZ48614QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

It's ending soon but that will give you an idea of price for subs.  Get two, they're worth it.

For Amps MTX works great with Infinity subs.

Pick up two of these

http://cgi.ebay.com/Excellent-conditions-MTX-Thunder-6500D_W0QQitemZ5830408170QQcategoryZ39735QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

that'll give you a nice set up.  If you decide to just go with one sub

Get an MTX 81000D for the amp and a MTX 9500  That'll kill for you!

Sounds great, A little much for me this month though, It'll be awhile before I can do that I guess. Did you check out the Ikesound.com Site? Things seem pretty well priced on there , is there anyway I could make a cheaper but still decent setup off of that site?

I'm at work right now, I'll check it out tomorrow and get back to you.  I like eBay because of buyer protection and the prices.  That's why I link them so much for other people.  I'll check out Ike and see what they have, but truth is anything in there will be cheaper on eBay.  I'll get back to you tomorrow!

Hey, On Asec I got this reply.."  have a used set of Poweracoustik 10's, slotted sub box, Powerqcoustik 520 watt amp, and a new 8 Gauge amp kit for 250 shipped if you would like. it sounds great in my Sebring. It was a trade in from a customer that upgraded and i threw it in my car until my new equipment comes in"     
                                       Does that sound like a good deal....Decent?HuhHuh

PA isn't too bad, kinda need to know what model subs and all they are, but that sounds pretty decent, and will get you off on the right foot.

For price depending on the model like G said.  But I'm always a fan of just setting it up right, right away. Run 0 or 4 gauge right away, that way you don't have to re-rerun wires later on, and save you some money.  You won't be buying two sets, only one.  More expensive right away, but in the long haul it'll be cheaper.

I saw, sell your Kappas, invest that money into some perfects and stick a speaker amp on that.  It'll give you good sound and some good bass.  Then the more money you get the more you can invest.

I checked out Ike, and it didn't seem like they had enough selection.  I"m not a fan of mutated systems.  I.E. running a bunch of different components.  Stick with one, or Two at the most.  Save up do it right, that way you're not changing excrement out every couple of months.  Get some deals, use eBay and make sure it's from people you trust.  I use eBay all the frickin time.  If you don't use it often and feel uncomfortable with it, let me know and I'll check stuff before you bid!!

What did you mean in your last post about running two sets not just one? I thought it said it comes with a set of 10's. Are you saying it's not a good setup or not all I'll need to start out?? Thanks for the help  Smiley

he means staying with 1 brand and not mixmatching stuff. You don't want kicker speakers on a Power acoustics amp driven by an alpine radio paired with kenwood components, y'know Wink

Glacius hit it on the head.  Don't mix and match brand names.

Not to mention the sound.  Different audio components are made to spec with others of the same brand, you will get more out of a sub that's hooked up to the same brand amp than some other amp.  Just like boxes.  You can have any box you want, but when you make one according to Manufacturer's specs the sound is way better!
