Friends first system $1000 budget...

[CommonSyns]

I was thinking that the Skar Audio VVX 12's that come in a custom box. I really want to hear Skar Audio in person and the new 1500 watt subwoofer thats coming out may be my next woofer....

for a 1k budget id do something like this

all that brings you to a total of 670.64 leaving plenty for things like wiring and the box, maybe a little deadener if he wants now if he wants to shoot for more of an sq system id do this for a 1k budget

for the amp go with one of these

http://store.soundsolutionsaudio.com/products/dcon-12-sound-solutions-audio-12-300w-dcon-series-subwoofer.html (sub)

that would total out to either 829.48 or 614.46 depending which amp you choose giving you enough to add wire, box, and deadener. If set up correctly it would sound damn good, that headunit gives you the ability to go fully active so make sure you use it to the fullest.
