Audio (and aftermarket electronics) This is your place for alarms, remote starters, to brag about your system, exaggerate your db levels, or simply ask questions for stock or aftermarket audio. No Flames! (except from roasted amps)

Default I am tempted...

I really am trying to save money for college and for my next car(whatever that may be) so I have scrapped my idea for my system. I decided that it would be stupid to drop over a grand into my car for one 12" woofer. The other day while looking in the paper... I saw this:

I am seriously thinking about this... or the two 10" set just to get some bump going... I can't really tell if it is worth it or not though... should I?

I'm assuming you mean the amp? Do RF amps burn out often??

They'll be great! I saw that, and they look nice and it'* a good deal. For that category, that'* the best setup you can get, and a great value. You'll be happy for sure.

Spend the 20 bux for the 12" package IMO though.

Keep in mind you'll need to buy a wiring kit as well!

www.sounddomain.com will be your cheapest solution. Don't buy the stuff @ best buy, it generally costs more then the specialty car shops.

I think that I am going to get my wiring kit from www.thezeb.com I had a lot of good luck with them in the past as far as my 6x9'* and my HU.. Is the amp install kit the only thing I will need?

i have had several rockford fosgate product and have never had any trouble with them that seems to be a great deal from what i can tell. it is amazing how far tecnology has came. so far that you can get 2 12" subs a amp and a box for 300.00 and it is rockford fosgate to boot. it seems like everyhing is getting better and cheaper all the time.
