would have to agree with the above post. I have had 4 Rockford P3 12's in the back of mine with 700 watts to each and it was loud. But now i have just one Kicker CVX and it sounds great. Everyone thinks i have at least 2 12's in there. But now i can still haul stuff in the back with the smaller box.

budget is the absolute first step. Then you need to figure out what type of system you want (loud, great sound quality, or a combination on the 2 - sacrificing a litte from each to get an all around decent setup). After that, you need to figure out in what order you want to purchase everything.

For the best bang for the buck in a mid range system, try getting some components all around with a decent amp pushing 'em.

Do this... Go into best buy... See what has sold... ask what sells... and then pick out things in your price range... Write them down.. Go home... read online reviews... and then see how well you chose... you could get a pretty BA system this way...

go to wal-mart, get some cheap speakers already in a box, with a cheap amp that has the same wattage rating, then get an install kit. if u have factory cd-player/tape-deck, u have to hard-wire the amp to the factory speaker wires, if u have after market get a good length of rca cable. Hook everything up. If u like the sound, keep it. Everything should cost around $300 depending on size of speakers and amp. This would be a good starting system, that will increase low frequency. If it creates too much, u will need after market speakers for ur doors/dash, to blend frequencies. If it creates too little, check ur wiring, or get better equipment.
