Helping picking out a system

**stiffdogg06** · 07-31-2007, 11:04 PM

ok well I had a MTX set up before it was stolen... I am in the need of some more bass. I am only looking at maybe a 1 amp 1 sub set up. I want some bump but no need to blow the windows out. Maybe under $200. But any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

An Amp for my sub and my Highs would be nice.

I need a whole set up for $200. Not just an AMP.

That`s a pretty tight budget for a quality 4-channel amp and subwoofer. You can get into a 12" sub from Elemental Designs for $25 (EQHS12). Their 4-channel (NINe.4) comes in at $245, so that blows the budget a little. Parts Express is currently blowing out Buttkicker sub amps for $88 if you can forgo the 4-channel. You could also probably pick up something used and get under the $200 mark for an amp and sub, so you might check eBay and see what`s out there. I find brands are really a matter of personal preference, feature sets and installation requirements. You might check out the CarSound forums and get some feedback from there as well.

You can`t really buy a whole setup for $200. My brother got a 600 watt rms sub, amp, box, and wiring for close to $1,000. If I was you, I would save up a little more and get something better than $200 worth of stuff.

Check woofersetc.com for some good 2-ch amps. Elemental Makes some great subs, but some of the best and cheapest can be had at CarAudioForum.com - The Car Audio Forum classified section. Great deals there.

I don`t need a 4 chan. amp. 2 would be fine. Thats what I had, and the AMP wiring kit is still in my trunk from when they stolen my subs and amps. Also, thanks guys for the help

What kind of brands should I stay away from? I always was the guy that stayed with MTX cause I knew it worked well.

**Deenice21** · 08-02-2007, 01:17 PM

your first post said an amp for your highs and a sub . . so what are you looking for an amp for just your subs?? or just your highs???

Honestly, stay away from audiobahn, pyle, legacy, bazooka, mtx, sony, or stuff like that. Bottom end stuff IMO.

Just an amp for my lows is good. A nice set up that will work with each other would be nice.

One amp, and a 10" or 12" is all I need. A nice bump combo.

Also, I don`t believe MTX is anywhere NEAR bottom end stuff. But to each his own.

**imported_Jakerooni** · 08-02-2007, 09:29 PM

You might want to hit up ebay because your definatly not going to get anything worth a crap for only $200. Hell the wiring alone will cost you most of that.

You dont know better till you hear it. I had some Rockfords that I thought sounded great, till I heard an Elemental. Most mainstream companies are mostly for mass-market stuff, not audiophiles.

I had MTX subs and amp before it was stolen and it was good compared to what other "JUNK" I heard. And like I said before. I have the wires already. And I got my 2" mtx and amp in a enclosed box for $100. So the deals are out there, just gotta look.
