Should I Get Better Sub Or Amp?

[watup_gangsta]

I don't know If I should pay more to get a better quality sub or pay more for a better quality amp?

Depends.

Hi Mate,

Think of it this way, reguardless of how good the sub is, if you feed it with a crap quality signal from amp you will still get crap sound.

I would go head deck, splits, amp then sub.

just my 2 cents....

Its easier to make a crap sub and speakers sound great if you have a decent head unit, decent wiring and a well thought out install.

but hard to make a great sub/speaker sound good if your feeding it with a crap head unit, crap wiring, crap amps and poor install.

i personally think your better off dyna matting the door inner and outer skins and the boot lid b4 doing any thing else. that on its own makes a huge difference. best $200 i spent on my 2nd install. every car i have had gets more and more sound deadening.

The quality of the install is the most important part, a showy install does not make it sound good. things like routing the wiring so they dont get pinched or frey and matching the sub to the correct sized box are what is important to me.

so in order i would go install then sound deadening, head unit, splits, amp, sub and all the good interconnects to make it work.

As stated above, invest in a better head unit and amplification.

If you have a cheaper subwoofer in a CORRECTLY SIZED ENCLOSURE, it will run rings around a sub 10 times more expensive in a pre-fabricated enclosure.

There are plenty of really good brands of woofers that perform exceptionally well from low powered amp's - in small ported enclosures.

RE Audio make a 10" REX model that will blow you away in as small an enclosure as 0.65ft3 - ported!
