Ram1989custom Posted December 15, 2011 Report Share Posted December 15, 2011 I love budget builds, because thats how mine started. My truck (1989 Dodge D150) had a radio/cassette and a pair of 21 year old stock components. Bought a pair of Rockford 5x7s and a used alpine deck. My amps were hand me downs and my first sub was 1 12" Walmart Pioneer. I imagine you will start off better, however haha. If you are looking for a cheap but loud substage, I would recommend looking at the Skar VVX 12s. http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/123519-2-skar-vvx-12s-custom-ported-box-special-35999-shipped/ They have a deal right now for 2 12" subs and a custom dual ported box to your specs for $359.99 shipped. I haven't personally heard these subs, but from the Youtube vids I have seen, they look like some solid equipment, especially for the price. Also, some pretty decent true power amps are the Audiopipe AP series. They have 10001D, 15001D, 18001D, and 30001D. they are pretty close to true power, and the 1000, 1500, 1800, and 3000 watts are RMS value. I have the 15001D in my truck and it looks to be able to do about 1200 to 1300 RMS at 1 ohm. Not to mention I bought mine from Ebay for $150 shipped. Just a couple of products to look at to get started that I find pretty good deals. Feel free to look at other products and compare, you will find something you like.

I've had Audiopipe before, meh. SQ was junk. My old rf bd1500 at 1ohm was cleaner sounding (was only specced for 1500wrms at 2ohms). Either way, the new Audiopipe products are junk and not built like their old stuff.

Either way, the new Audiopipe products are junk and not built like their old stuff. Well in my honest opinion, Nothing beats Rockford amps. My Audiopipe has pretty decent sound quality for the price. The 30001D is a pretty badass amplifier for the price, but its all preference. If I could afford it, I would not even think about Audiopipe. I am looking for a better amp though, after I get my DD 2512 and another battery. I don't trust mine to last more than till halfway through summer. I think the heat is going to kill it.
