buddy is cheap but needs some help

Recommended Posts

so my buddy is really cheap, hes not into heavy bass but does like a little bit, but like i said realy a big cheap sk8,

hes been looking on amazon at amps and subs/enclosures, hes been looking at Dual-Pyle-Pyramid-Boss-Lanzar-Planetaudio-Mtx-etc...(huno cheap stuff),

i told him to hold off give me a couple of days see what i can come up with,

he wants 12's but i thank he might go for some 10's, remember hes a cheap $#@, hes looking to spend around 200-250, again hes cheap

if you have any suggestions (besides quiting beeing cheap) or have something youd part with, fell free to text me

He wants 2 subs, an amp, a box, wiring for everything...for $250 ? Good luck !!!

Unless he buys used, I can't see that happens easily.

Classifieds, Craiglists,...etc

See what you can find. Look for a single sub, it will be cheaper than 2 !

$300 systems sound like $300 systems. You're not going to find anything good for that much. If you do, it would be a single sub that wasn't very loud. Maybe a couple of tens or something...

If you guys are willing to and can build the enclosure yourselves then an SSA DCON and a decent little amp to run it would fit the bill perfectly. I think you could get the sub, an amp, wiring and the materials needed to build the enclosure for about $250 to $300.

Such as this:

15" SSA DCON D4 $140

MB Quart FX1.400 $80

KNU KCA 4AWG amp kit $27

Box building materials roughly $60

Total = $307

Given the enclosure is designed and built correctly it would be a fine first setup.

He could save $15 going with a 12 instead of the 15 or $25 with the 10. All things being equal the 15 will be louder tho so that's why I listed it.

Get two DCON twelves or a fifteen and a cheap audiopipe amp, and build your own box.

i told him to order it as a D4 so the one can be loaded @2ohm(around 300-600 rms not sure what the actual output is) and hell still have the opption to get a 2nd D4 and the amp is 1ohm stable
