look into Type R's - budget bang for the buck. can be had for about 110 on ebay new shipped or so

two of those, and a ZX1500.1 (refurb on ebay for about 365)
or a Hifonics Brutus 1606d from about 260 or so - will actually see about 1200watts rms

JVC KDAR480 or Pioneer Dehp3900MP for about 130.


have someone build you a box or do it yourself (please stay away from Prefab boxes- they suck)

Very good suggestions. Pretty much what I was going to say. (although I have trouble trusting eBay refurbs, but thats a personal problem)

most of the ebay refurbs say they are refurbished at the kicker factory... i was about to buy a refurbed one and suddenly an AMAZING deal came up on a new one and i jumped at it

99 percent of the time, when kicker gets an amp back, they just drop in a new board. easier than trying to troubleshoot what went wrong. have had 4 friends buy kicker refurbs and still work!!

I'm going to be running fosgate subs and amps with alpine type s components and a single din deck. I have heard that setup before in a blazer and it was really clean and clear, so thats what im doin.

Sony Xplod would be your worst choice. "Everything" they make is a piece of junk.Go with either Pioneer, Alpine, or Eclipse...
