Ok guys, i'm basically looking to give myself a little more bass than the factory 8" sub can give, the 10 stock factory speakers are sufficient for now. I'm not looking to spend alot of money since I just spent a ton this month on the cruise and new car etc, probably looking to spend a couple hundred after I get paid on friday. I already have the box for 2 12's so all i'd need is the subs, amp and wires(plus someone to do it because I suck at electronics).

So, my question is what route would you guys go in my situation? I don't need something to knock my rear view down(went there before, gets expensive FAST lol). Also, there are TONS of options on craigs list locally, what are your thoughts on buying something like this used?

As always, thanks for the input!

I have 1 ten inch in my car and it pounds way more than i even want it to. I have the bass all the way down when I play rap. All I did was replace my speakers with alpine and put the ten in and i ahve never heard anybody say my sound sytem wasn't loud enough.

I love rockford fosagte and my p1 (60 bucks sub) lasted for 5 years. I recommend rockford or kicker seeing that it is the same company and if you want to upgrade highs alpine.
