Thats what I started to gather from the ammount of newbies like me buying them. Buddy has a MTX 12" in his accord which sounds ok but from what I gather MTX is more of a entry level brand to right?

Hey fellow Canadian!

It really comes down to how much money you want to spend on it. How much electrical work you want/can do. If your running all stock everything, i wouldn't go past 500 (ish) watts.

If i was to buy kicker, i would look into their vx or L7 series. They are pretty decent from what i heard.

Do you know the difference between the VX, VR ,CompS, CompD ect ect? still a little confused at the difference between them all and what amp would you suggest? I was hoping to not have to upgrade much electrical but at what point do systems start requiring new Alt, batt ect ect?

Cheers!

Personally, i would start to do electrical upgrades when its past 500 watts on a car. First i would do the big 3, then alt, then battery(s) most cars have 40-70 amp alts, trucks and suv's have 75-140 amp alts (stock of course) And the diffrence between the VX, VR, CompS etc, is the rms and magnet size. BTW, What kind of music do you listen to the most? i wouldn't buy a 12" if i listen to low deep bass, and i wouldn't buy a 18" if i listened to speed metal.

They have some good stuff too. Most of the brands you hear about all the time like kicker, mtx, alpine, pioneer,Kenwood, Rockford and jl all have a wide range of components. Some are garbage, where as others are amazing. The other brands I listed skip the garbage and go straight to what entry level should be and go all the way up to some of the most amazing drivers and amps the world has ever seen, especially price considered. You get way more woofer from soundqubed than most anyone else for the same money.

Mostly Rap, Hip Hop, Trap, Electro, EDM and top 40 is what I mainly listen to

If you were to choose a system for one of the cars I listed judging by the music I listen to which system would you buy to make it BUMPIN on a fair budget?
