All i really want is something that gives a little ephasis to the bass in songs, im not looking to compete or have an obnoxious sounds system.

In my personal opinion, and the opinion of everyone I have talked or worked with, Jensen is swap meet junk. If I were you I would skip on this and just save that money toward a little bit better sounding sub stage. It sounds like you after sound quality, so you're not going to need anything large and overpowering. You can probably save a little and get a nice Sound Q setup for ~$300...just my opinion...

exactly, jensen and audio are not 2 words worth ever putting in the same sentence. tell us your budget and we will recommend something worth buying in that price range - unless the price range is completely unreasonable.

i really cant do anything over 150, i dont make much money and have other expenses. i realize that isnt a lot to work with, but i cant do much more than that, if anyone has any used stuff that they arnt using and are wiling to sell at a cheap price, i would be happy with that.

do you already have an amp to power a sub or no?

Here are a couple suggestions, just to give you an idea of what is out there for your price range:

Pioneer TS-W301R 12" Subwoofer ($47.00)
Power handling: 150 watts RMS
Impedance: 4 ohms
http://www.partsexpress.com/pe/showd...number=297-284

Kenwood Excelon Amp ($40.00)
505W x 1 (RMS) @ 4 Ohms (Plenty of power, even if amp is over rated)
http://cgi.ebay.com/Kenwood-Excelon-...QQcmdZViewItem

If you pick up a cheap wiring kit at Wal-Mart and build your own box, you could be well within your budget. These are just a few suggestions at what you could do; there is plenty out there in your price range if you look aroundand do a little research.
