Default Please select a sub/amp for my giftcertificate.

I have 150$ in amazon gift certificates. I have been searching this site and I can't find anything useful besides subs and amps.

I have an 02 trans am. Already have a stealthbox made that can hold a 10 or 12 inch sub. Would like a little extra bass. I have the stock monsoon setup.

For the 150 or maybe just a little more, can you select me a good sub/amp combo? HEres a link directly to the audio section at amazon. Sound quality is most important then loudness next. I realize that subs can get expensive but I just have the stealthbox and nothing to put init and my gc is gonna expire soon.

You might be able to get a used one for that price.
A sub, amp, wire and a stealth box adds up quick.

Already have the box and the wiring. I don't know all that much about which models are good and bad. So basically 150$-200 for a sub and amp. I really want to get them from amazon because I have the gc that I wont use for anything else.

How many amps should i try to get for the sub and amp in this range and should I go with a 12 inch sub or 10 inch sub?

I would look into a kicker CompVR since they are great for the price. Then save up a little more and get a kicker KX100.2 for the amp.

Depends on the size of the box that you already have.

Thx for the info, I have heard good things about the kicker comp vr's.

Well, I built a stealthbox, much like this:
http://subthump.com/acamarostealth.htm

I originally had a comp kicker 12 inch in there and it sounded pretty good but I had to get rid of it, my friend gave it to me but wanted it back.

The box is cut for a 12 inch sub but since this is such a small volume, i think 10 inch might be better for it. I wouldn't have a problem redoing the front piece. The box is about .7-.8 cubic feet volume wise.

What kind of watts for sub and amp should i be looking for in this price range?

The monsoon system sounds great as it stands but I want a little bit more thump.
