well thats simple enough. thanks again.

 

I searched your local CL for a minute... literally, one minute.

This is what I would buy, if it is still around:

That 500a2 would probably be about 600W ish of real watts at 2 ohms bridged - those old fosgates are usually under rated watt-wise. Those W3s sound pretty good and hit pretty hard for the price. This system is solidly mid level and maybe even upper-mid. Listen to it if you can.

Call the guy and work something out. Even at full price, this leaves you $50 for a wiring kit - 8 guage would be fine for an amp of this size.

 

space is an issue, thats why i only want 1 sub. gotta fit my kids shit back there (stroller and misc stuff)

 

small space screams fi q or ssa icon

but they're out of your budget and need some power to really get moving

with ur budget, dcon or image dynamics idq would be perfect imo

They'll crap all over the alpine and kicker stuff folks have been recommending

 

im putting this project on hold and focusing on my iphone integration to the nav unit. i can get that done under $300 easily. thanks for all your time and help. ill be coming back for more bass in the near future but want quality products.

 

...Sounds like a better investment. I just installed a navtool in my TL-S and love it. When you run the wires for the navtool/doms unit I would strongly recommend picking up and amp kit also and running all the wires at the same time. Send me a PM when you want to do this and I'll send you a link where you can get a brand new navtool shipped for $170 and even help you out with the install.

 

nav tool allows me to play video to the nav screen cofrrect? just like the dom unit?

if so....hit me with the link for the $170navtool bro. im ordering tomorrow

Good idea to do your research

Check out http://www.diymobileaudio.com/forum/

The guys on there are far knowledgeable when it comes to car audio

It's the same place i got recommendations at(equipment is in the sig)

 

Yes the navtool and dom's unit are similar. The wiring is the same, but I was told the navtool has buttons to control the brightness unlike doms unit. They allow you to install an additional video input (ie Ipod/dvd player/PS2/rear cam).

Pm'ed....

 

i too would like to know where you can get it for $170. care to share

 

Send me a pm because I dont want to thread jack. This is OP's thread for a budget subwoofer system for $300.
