Ok first off let me say that this is by no means a cheap guide.. this is the best of the best.


let me say that i have had my kicker l7s for 5 years... to say the least they are very reliable

The JL audio 13.5" w7 is the next step up... serious wam

Kicker l7 12s - http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item11345Kicker-Solo-Baric-S12L72-08S12L72.html

JL audio 13.5s - http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item4008JL-Audio-13W7-D1.5.html

These are my recommendations for amps, If you don't like it.. go ahead and buy one thats gonna break :P

Kicker 2500 2ohm - http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item31875Kicker-ZX2500.1-11ZX2500.1.html

Rockford 2500 this thing gets down to 1ohm srs business - http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item26141Rockford-Fosgate-T2500-1bdCP-2010-Model.html

Mids

I prefer Eminence alpha 8a's or Earthquake 8" Sealed backs

but sonic doesn't sell neither so here are a comparable speaker and a viable option

Imo pick your own head unit.. I would recommend any of these though

other then w7s theres not something that everyone can just run out and get...


Sure, you have your 70$ walmart subs, that sound okay inside ur car, but you hear mine a quarter mile away lol


Solo X would be best choice ;)

you really need to get away from mainstream brands if you wanna see really good stuff.

http://store.ficaraudio.com/n318/ x2 would be a much much much better choice than a single solo x. 2 of them for the price of a single solo x...and they sound MUCH better, built MUCH better, put out bigger numbers, handle more power.

kicker i just another overpriced mainstream company that entry level people buy.

For 800 i'll buy a w7 over those all day... I trust what I know

Also theres a new sub that my local shop has been selling and they produce big numbers (the only other option imo vs the jl or the kicker) i'll have to check it out and bring some info back later today for u guys

Yeah i have four l7 12s in a blow through box in my 86 montecarlo paired with 10 8" Earthquake sealed backs, 8 6" earthquake sealed backs and 8 Earthquake 250x compression drivers and 4 800 max super tweeters mounted underneath the car... you can easily hear me from a quarter mile away if im all the way turned up

You can argue all you want theres not a comparable subwoofer for the price.
