Default Around how much do two subs (10" or 12") with amps & install cost

i dont know much about audio. I know i like crisp clean bass, so that would mean an enclosed box right?

how much are we talking here for basic decent equipment, nothing fancy.

I would need what?
amps...how many
two subs
box
what else?

Thanks

Default It would all depend on what you want in as far as good equipment. Depending on how powerful the subs

would determine what kind of amp you would need. There are many factors.

That is another way cost can differ. It's all about how custom you want it.

Default Yes I am talking watts. It depends on the brand that you get. For example my setup, which is in

Stage 4 literally. I have 2 Memphis Gold HPO subs 12s. They each hit 300watts RMS. The amp I am using is an Eclipse amp 33230, which when set to 2ohms stereo makes 600watts. So that is enough power for the subs. It just depends on the equipment you buy to work with eachother.

Default I paid $150 for accessories and installation, which IMO is a bargain

For one, the grommet in the firewall is REALLY tight to run power wire through... second, you have to run the power wire through 10-12 feet of your car, in the process removing and putting back various panels in your car. If you don't like broken clips and/or 2-3 hours of frustration, just pay someone to do it. Plus, if you have any installation-related issues in the future, you have someone else to blame.
