New Setup, Need Help!

[xAndrew225x 8]

sounds like you could go 18" with a SUV like that, but box size will take up alot of room. If your budget for deck/amp/sub/wires is only 4-500 then i would go with the ssd's, 15 or 18". Audiopipe is a decent budget amp also. gonna be hard to build an entire system with that budget but doing the work yourself (install, building your own box) could save you some money. good luck.

edit: a 1500 watt audiopipe amp can be scored for about $150 and some change on ebay. (ap15001) or the 1000watt version is even less.

So an 15" would do better with size or should i go straight for the 18"? and how much does building a box cost? estimate?

A 15" will require much less enclosure size therefore cheaper and saves space. Building the box yourself will save you a ton of $$$ but requires patience and the necessary tools.

Okay. I know some of my friends who are good with audio that could help me build it. And you said the Audiopipe 1000watt will do me good with these subs?

I personally recommend something more along these lines US Amps Xterminator

But the AP would also do well.

500 watts will be enough for a 15?

Plenty enough. The sub is only 300rms.

Alright, so a ssd 15", and that ^^^ amp should do me good?

Wait. I've been talking about the X series...

A 15" SSD will require a larger amp.

You'll have to go cheaper than SSD because even a 12" SSD will be around $250 and the amp will cost around the same. That's already $50 over your budget for just a sub and amp. If you still wanna go Fi I'd look into the 15" X. It will cost less than the SSD and require less power, therefore a cheaper amp.

So if i go with the 15" X is it a good sub that i can use everyday and can hit? Or should i just go for a ssd 18"?

Every sub will hit and every sub will play everyday.

I mean unless there's a sub that only plays on mondays.

15" 4.0 @ 32hz put about 300 watts on it, your good.

With the little information you gave us of your goals, then noone can really get to specific.

Goals would just be have people turn there heads when i drive by and to impress some of my friends when there just sitting in the car.

No offense but this really shouldn't be your main goal unless you like dealing with the insurance company when your ride gets stripped...

Thats not going to happen. -___-

I just want a good quality sub that hits. Ive sat in my friends car and he has 2 12" Kicker CVR's and those really impressed me with there sound and how clear it was. Thats what i want out of mine.

If you think 2 12" CVRs sound clean you're gonna cry with excitement when you hear this sub. If it's in a good box of course.

Im gonna with a Fi 15" in there? lol

Yes. Put the X in a box around 4 cubes tuned @ 32hz. Get a KnuKonceptz wiring kit here.

Headunit is your preference. I prefer Kenwood.

those 2 together will give me a good system?

Yes, amp and sub wise, but with just those, have fun free-airing. You need a good custom built enclosure if you want the best out of your system. If you don't have the skill or tools, contact argent audio. Sealed or Ported?

By the way, Andrew is right about crap getting stolen. It happens, you think it won't but it will.

Go blaring your system everywhere "turning head's" trust me, it will get stolen. You never know what kind of people you are making turn their head. Could be someone who will be selling your system in a pawn shop the next week.

Good Luck

You will be reasonably happy with the x15. I have 2 of the x12's and they do great for what they are.

It's all install dependent. How loud it is and how clean it will sound is all in the install. Good luck!
