Title: Amp and Sub for my car
Post by: irish_ram on December 15, 2013, 05:05:48 pm

Hi All,

Just wondering if anyone can give me some advice. I am looking at upgrading my Audio and am wondering what is a good sub and amp to get. I have already bought a AVH-5500BT(not installed yet as have a battery drain problem  which I am sorting).

I am not looking to spend loads and ideally no more than maybe 150-200.

Also looking for small setup to nicely fit in my boot or even under car seat.

I have seen these Active Subs which I presume is an all in one setup which looks nice and compact.

I am pretty much a novice when it comes to Audio so although not looking for a crap cheap setup I do not want to be buying expensive stuff which although good for the money is too much for what I need  :happy2:

you will need the wiring for the sub-bit over your budget but wil look better

Thanks for this.

Was just looking at the Sub Enclosure on Ebay before I read this post so must be faith.

All looks nice and compact so might invest once I get my car back from the garage  :happy2:
