Who can give it to me? I don't want anything big maybe some 12s. What's the best brand, best place to buy for a good price, stuff like that

My advice is save your money on things more important. Like an actual real girlfriend you might have one day.

Less than a year ago he couldn't even afford paying for Ballstreams.

Only inferior because you can't get it.

It depends on what kind of car you are driving. If you are driving a POS then you don't want a loud system. That would bring attention to you.

What do you drive and is it worth it to spend more money on a clunker.

Save the money on the repairs. Struts/shocks will go out soon probably.

You want loud or a clean system?

Loud- JL Audio woofers with some old Fosgate amps.

Clean- one Boston Acoustics woofer 10 or 12 would do with some MB Quartz for mids and highs. This pretty much would be a high end system. Probably the best in your entire school.

Do yourself a favor and spend the extra coin getting a good setup. Most people, especially when they are young will go for a cheap setup that slaps. It's loud, makes shit rattle and makes bass. No more no less. To the average person with a stock stereo and no sub, it will sound nice. To anyone used to a decent sound system, it will sound like shit. I'm not talking super high end, just something better than the usual $300 package deals you find at a lot of these places.

Also, don't convince yourself you need two 12's, especially if you can't afford a sufficient amp to power both. So many people want nothing less than two 12's and cheap out on the amp, then they just take up all that extra space for nothing.

I liked JL and Alpine products. First sub I bought was an Alpine Type R. Bought it in high school, lasted through 4 cars over 10 years. I got a new setup, but that sub still works perfectly fine.

Nice cheap stuff here.


Honestly though it would be wise to save your money.

if you dont have money, buy generic.

ebay is your best place. minimally, Get a 1200 watt generic amp for like 60 bucks, plus a 1200 watt 12" for 60, get a nice sized enclosure ( atleast 2.4 square feet, no bigger than 3.2) youll need a head unit, (doesnt have to be special) and a wiring kit.

Jameer ask yourself when was the last time the car had a complete maintanence going over?

Belts, hoses, filters brakes etc etc etc... then ask yourself which is more important, keeping the car on the road or great tunes on the side of the road

This. Plus I own an Audi and they're generally a little more expensive to fix than your regular Honda or Toyota. There is some weird shit about the car too.

Are you going to be one of those teenagers who blast music obnoxiously on the highway/down the road? :rolleyes:

Never came across people blasting music on highways before. They do it in neighborhoods.

Some people are so old and boring :facepalm

lol if you want some good sounds bro two best is JBL or soundstream. JBL is smoother clearer Soundstream is like competition hardcore thumping stuff. But remember that the AMP, the installation and the positioning are the key things to consider. thats where the pros come in. subs are just the puppets on the strings.
