I think that as a noob we should find him a good starting reference. I'm not talking P1's now, that would be ridiculous. Even at my local RF dealer I could get a P3 for $118 out the door. Find yourself a P400-1, 4ga wiring kit, prefab box, and rcas. All for under $450 shipped, brand new. Also He could not have a Frankenstein monster his first go at a system. Let this little bit of bass turn him into a basshead like us then he can branch out to bigger, louder systems as he and his wallet seem fit.
