1: What is the Year, Make, and Model of the vehicle.
2002 Buick Le Sabre

2: What is your budget?
Up to $400 Amp
Up to $400 Speakers + Box
$0 Wires (already owned)
$0 Head Unit (already owned)
$0-$150 6x9's (whole set)

3: What exactly do you want your outcome to be? (Good sounding music, or loud bass?)
Ridiculous bass with clean and clear voice.

4: And specific sub sizes that you prefer more than others?
2x 10'' Subs

5: How much trunk space do you want to use up?
Does not matter. Can use it all.

6: What type of features are you looking for in a CD Player (aka Head Unit)? (Ex: USB, AUX, BlueTooth, etc)
Head Unit not required.

7: What type of music do you listen to?
Metal and rap.

8: Is your stock stereo system amplified? (You may or may not know this)
IDK it is the stock CD/tape player the car came with.

9: Do you have Steering Wheel Controls? (Volume/Seek on the steering wheel)
Volume, skip, and mute I can remember off the top of my head.

I used to have a 4000 watt Hifonics AMP, and 2x BOSS 4200 Watt Subwoofers until the AMP stopped working. It was a cheapish setup, and I was content with it. Would love to beat it.

Subs: https://soundqubed.com/product/hds3-1-selection/ <---- select 10" D4's = $270 for the pair
https://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_81648_Audiopipe-APCL-30001D.html Amp 3000W RMS @ 1 ohm = $379.99 (Probably can find it cheaper)
Pick up some 3/4 inch MDF and build your own box. It will be cheaper and you can get the frequency right where you want it to make those subs really reach their potential. (materials cost around 75 bucks for the MDF/Carpet/Epoxy). If you 100% absolutely refuse to build a box grab one of these: https://www.vminnovations.com/Product_94472/Q-Power-QBOMB10TB-Dual-10-Inch-Triangle-Ported-Subwoofer-Box.html?rd=gpf_94472&gclid=CjwKCAiA78XTBRBiEiwAGv7EKiwvSFhCMjBq_yWprq5H8xx4DEZ0scs1-FiH4UfegxVVjSU1UQyVdBoCglMQAvD_BwE $72

https://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_71954_NVX-VSP69.html $140 bucks for 4 6x9s

You need to buy a real h/u. The stock ones that come with a car are absolute shit and allow no tweaking of your subwoofer levels and very little tweaking of the 6x9 speaker levels. I have this one and love it: https://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_107543_Pioneer-AVH-4200NEX.html

You also need to grab a 2nd amp for your 6x9s or the 2 10's I picked out will damn near completely overpower the 6x9s. This amp is a perfect match for the 6x9s: https://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_71775_NVX-MVPA4.html $180

You need at least 0 gauge power/ground for the 3000W RMS amp, 8 gauge for the 400W RMS amp and 2 10's, and 12 gauge for your 6x9s.

Sonicelectronix has BOGO on Alpine subs.

Can get 2 12" type S for $224

will pound

ALSO ~~ would recommend AB class amp for your speakers.. D class amps may impact sound quality for speakers.

For subs however D class is not as impactful on sound quality and is way more efficient... which you need to drive a couple subs

Bro that amps not 1ohm stable, rated 3k at 2ohm because those amps are two 1500 boards internally bridged will protect or die wired @ 1 or lower as each board sees .5 or lower

Technology has come a ways, crescendo just phased out their 3k 2channel a/b in favor of a d class, ab gets hot, d class has come a long way as well, probably can't hear the difference between a good d class and a average ab

good catch I didn't see it wasn't stable at 1 ohm. Try out this amp https://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_34974_Hifonics-Brutus-Elite-BRE2500.1D.html it matches perfectly and is CEA compliant and is cheaper at $299. (assuming you have the proper voltage and the resistance from your wires, you should be getting very close to 2400W RMS)

Edit: Forgot to add you might need to snag a higher output alternator if you currently have a stock alternator in your car (looks like it the stock puts out somewhere in the neighborhood of 90A-110A) running both amps alone will draw well over 150A and you need some extra current to power other electrical systems in the car
