Added sub - sounds great Hey guys, I just put together a killer bass package for less than $500 bucks, and I wanted to share.
I bought a JL Vantage stealbox enclosure (empty) for $75 bucks off fleabay
I bought a 10" kicker solobaric SQ (old school) for about $100 bucks off fleabay
I bought an old school phoenix gold ZX350 (made in the USA baby) for $150 off the PG phorum
I picked up a 4 gauge wiring kit and accessories from Darvex.com for $100
I did my own professional install, and I must say that it looks badass and seriously pounds. This a killer combo of quality affordable old-school equipment. The amp is class A/B putting out 350watts RMS at 4ohms. The sub pounds so hard, it can barely take it! And I LOVE that JL stealthbox. It's sealed air tight, and I also stuffed it half full with polyfill (per kicker instructions), a trick often overlooked.
I'm still running stock head unit and stock factory speakers, but I've got the bass turned down at the headunit so they dont distort much at all. I'll try and post pics if I remember.
Oh and my Bazooka 6.5" DVC sail-panel subs are on the way from Ian Kee.
WHAT??? CANT HEAR YA!

Very cool. I just bought a 12" MTX in a custom built box. I'm going to run it off a MTX Thunder 600XD. It's 325W @ 4 ohms and 600W @ 2 ohms. Ford and Garland in Des Moines is hooking it up tomorrow morning.
The box is awesome. The guy I bought it from had it built to lock into place and still be able to put the targa top in the back with no issue. He even got the same ebony carpet to match the interior.

Kicker doesn't make any SQ subs, least of all the Solobarics. Not to say that they will all sound like crap, though. But at least if you had a round one, you'd have an upgrade path.

You just cant beat an old-school solobaric for $100 bucks shipped!
