I want some bass in my music and now I have some money to blow.
I am starting with nothing, so I will need the sub, amp and whatever wlse I need.
I listen to rock, rap, hip hop those genres
I want to spend around 5-600.
Any suggestions would be great about what is a good buy and what isnt. I was leaning more towards kicker...
Im not looking for headache music, just sound quality at reasonable levels.

factory or aftermarket radio????
You can get kicker stuff pretty cheap on ebay, the zx750.1 is a great amp. Pair it with a VR or Alpine Type R in a custom made box and it will sound great! and be under your budget.

Definitely Type-R if you want sound quality at reasonable levels while not spending a lot of money. I'll never get any other sub again......................................
Ebay is the best source for purchasing car audio stuff ina lot of cases.
I was always under the impression that Kicker is the way to go to get headaches (my personal term for loud bass) for cheap.

I have a JVC aftermarket headunit in already
So all I would need is the amp sub and wires correct?

through the craftsmanship of your hands...
everyone on here says that prefab boxes are the WORST. and it seems like most everyone knows more about sound than me

Custom boxes are the way to go for best sound/bass. That way, things are tuned for the specific vehicle its going into. Only reason I have a prefab is no one here in the mountains makes custom boxes and i'm too lazy.
