I have a 99 trans am and before I had a 97 camaro with one Jl Audio 12 and a memphis 250watt amp. It knoked pretty good for what it was but it was had some kind of vibrating resonance that came from the sub that agravated the hell out of me! I listen to 80% rap and 20% rock, what would be a recommendation for a sub,box,amp sombo I would need to go with? Im willing to spend 500 to 600 dollars.

It all depends how much space you want to take up and what level of merchandise you want to go with. I have a 12'' Kicker L7 in a Subthump millhouse box powered by an MTX 6500d (500watts rms). It pounds just fine. The rattles are panels, plastic, whatever vibrating. To get rid of that you need Dynamat, or B-Quiet, etc. sound deadeners. I just switched my sub over from my other car and I am going to start trouble shooting the rattles this weekend.

As far as recomendations if you give me more of an idea of where you would like to be I'll give you my thoughts, just PM me.

if you listen to that much rap go wiyh a rockford or kicker speaker and rockford amp, the jl stuff sounds good but it just doesn't do a lot of bass real well thats where you were getting your resonance from, he2 or better rockford of l5 or l7 kicker

if you want to spend 500 to 600 bucks you are going to have to go with he or mabye he2 rockfords on a 400s rockford 2 channel, or kicker comp vr's and the same amp or like a kiker kx300 2 channel, at thatamount you really not going to get a quality one channel mono block

Boo Yeah

I love mine, got it used but the sub has a warranty. And the AMP i bought new. It is on my web page web page Also I still have the factory head unit and speakers, most people think i have changed all the speakers.

A good "budget" amp is the jbl series. They are very stable, won't overheat, and are very clean. You could get:
passenger side 12" subthump box for ~$115
12" sub of your choice for ~$200-$250 (JL12w6, alpine, eclipse titanium, elemental designs a series)
amp install kit for ~$60(audiopipe) or ~$100(stinger)
pac line output converter for ~$25 or OEM-1 ($65)
JBL 600.1 sub amp (600W rms @ 2ohms) $200

That adds up to about $600.

If you have an aftermarket head unit you won't need the pac, and you might not need the amp install kit if you already had a system installed in a similar car. Any money left over should be spent on brown bread or dynamat or any type of sound deadening material.
