audio set up suggestions?

i was wondering what would be a good and not so expensive set up for my 92 hatchback. i just want a nice clean sounding system with a nice amp that doesnt weight like 100 pounds. what name brands and size of sub and amp should i be looking into? thanks

Well, because i own it, i will go with US amps. Fit and finish is great. Mind you, i also like the fit and finish of my Digital Designs amp and mids / highs.

First off, list your budget, consider install as well. Maybe go for 1 12" and 1 amp and call it a day Theres enough amazing equipment that can bump out there.

Lastly, more people will chime in

Look at brands like Kenwood if you are on a budget, their stuff sounds good and doesn't cost a fortune.

i had a low budget too, but what u want is 2 10" subs, this will give you cleaner bass than 2 12"s . although with 2 12" subs u will hear them down the street, not with the 2 10" subs. Rokford Fosgate are good subs, wudnt for Kiker. The amp is something thats expensive, so i wud shop around.
TIP: dont buy your stuff from best buy or future shop....RIP-OFF!!

Yea, avoid buying from a Big box store. Goto a shop like Selective where they can advise on how to do the right system

u dont need selective either...WOW So many forums have selective sound ppl!!
ITS not hard to do it yourself!!! i did mine super sik install with switches, two amps and stuff , and i was a noob at this. Asking people is good and then doing it yourself, so when somethig **** up, u know how to fix it and know how ur system works. Instead of going to a shop.!!!

Well we can still show what he needs to do the install right and he could do the install himself. Sure it's not hard to hook up a system but doing it and doing it properly are two different things. So many forums refer us because we are honest and up front with people and not just trying to take their money.

So i can come to selective sound for free consultation, cuz sometimes people who work would give you a bad attitude or talk to you like you're a complete noob, thats why i have a bias. I have nothing against selective. Will probably go there to get my power doors installed.

There is no pressure with Selective.. thats what I like about them.. they listen to you and dont interrupt when you have something to say.. analyze and than come up with some really good constructive suggestions. Top notch service as well!!!

1 this isnt the classifieds.

2 , in the history of this site we've never had only 1 shop for one product. IM confident to buy from Selective and take my car there and i have no problem backing that up and sending people from my site there.
Hands down Davis is a great guy to deal with.
