Default audio noob!

I have a 94 formula and i wanted to add a sub. I want to do a stealth box with a 10" sub and an amp rack in the back that a friend is going to build for me. But i don't know anything about audio stuff! So what is a good amp and sub to buy to put in?

Budget? If it's within your budget, I'd recommend a Fi Q10 or Q12. Maybe a Kicker ZX1000 amp or something like that.

The Q10 will be a little cheaper and sound a little better in a stealthbox. The Q12 still will work in a stealthbox (if you get one cut for a 12" speaker) - it wants a bigger box, but the stealthbox is close enough that it's not a bad fit. The Q12 will get louder, of course.

Fi is normally bought from their own web site. They sell directly.

Kenwood KAC-9103D or KAC-9104D would be great for the dual 4 ohm Q10.

Don't just avoid 12" because you think "super loud".... it could also mean better low end sound reproduction, assuming you choose one that works well in the stealth box.

See dragonrage's sig.
