[romeski]

Was thinking about putting a sub(s) in my car but don't want it to sound shitty. Want as little rattling as possible just to get a little bass behind the music. Any suggestions on brand, model that type of thing? also Components speakers?

get a 10" sub and a good amp rated at about 150-200 watts rms. This will give you good thump without rattling your fillings loose.

YA I agree no more than a 10" sub I had two 15" JLS in the trunk of mine and it sounded like crap before i dynomated the hell out of my car.

well I say get 1 or 2 alpine or rockfordfosgate subs and I think 12" r best because they sound the best because 10" don’t push enough air and 15" push too much air so their is allot of distortion and get dual voice coil and 2ohm.

i got a 10 inch sub (trump), two JL 350 watt 6x9's and a 4 channel 400 watt amp and shes got a good amount of bass and its loud and clear.... just need better 3 1/2" speakers in the front.... only rattles shit when I turn the volumn up to around 22 (out of 34)

if your looking for base the go for the subs but if your looking for good music qual. 6x9s will do if you get a good brand like audiobahn well worth the money.

Well, I do agree on the 6x9 thing but not ..."a good brand like Audiobahn." Sorry but when their "high end" 6x9's only run me about $19, there can't be much quality. Actually, I've had many quality issues with their stuff.

I'v never had a problem with them but I like to learn new things. Who would you say has the best brand? I havent tryed everything but I do love good music that and when someone is buggin me I can just turn up the music. It's my nice way to say shut up.

There's not really a "best brand" per say out there. you just need to go to the store and listen to the different speakers they have on display. I have Cerwin-Vega 6X9's in the rear, rockford fosgate 5.25 components with tweeters up front, and a 12" DVC rockford in the trunk. The sub has about 380 RMS watts going to it and the 6X9's are also powered with about 50W RMS to each. I did this specifically for clarity and loud mid-range performance, and no matter how loud I turn it up, it never distorts.

Good to know I'll look at that this weekend.

If you're really just looking for some clean, tight musical bass, I would reccomend getting an Infinity Basslink. It's basically a 10" in a custom designed enclosure with a built-in amp. The whole box is about 12x12x8, so it won't take up very much room in the trunk. Also, it comes with all the wires you need for installation, and can hook up to your factory system easily. It has speaker-level inputs, so you can merely tap into the wires going to your rear speakers. It retails for just under 300 bucks, and I think it is one of the best deals out there for easy, accurate, clean bass that won't overpower your factory speakers.
