Suggestions for a first time set up

[Bumpin Taurus]

OK, my friend who is waiting for his registration to be reviewed wants to put a system in his car.

It's a 1998 Toyota Corolla.

It's would be his first system. I'm the only person he knows with subs, and all I can recommend are RE subs and Hifonic amps since that's what I got.

So if anyone can suggest a nice daily set up. Maybe 1 12" or 2 10"?

He doesn't know the budget yet, but let's keep it small.

Thanks guys.

Well excuse me LOL. I guess that could work. SX higher or lower on the ladder than my SEs?

RE,SR,SE,SX,MX,XXX,MT in that order

Well, let's just say $500. Including installation stuff.

I know it won't be the most amazing stuff, but I say I got a pretty good deal for $500.

Does he also need an HU also?? or is the $500 just for sub(s)/amp(s)/enclosure/wiring kit...

15" Alpine Type-R D2($200 approx.) / Audiopipe 1500D@ 1ohm($150 approx.) / Knukoncepts 1/0 wiring kit($75 approx.) / 3.5ft3 @ 34hz, 55in^2 of port.. Wood + screws + glue + sealant($40 approx).

That's prolli the best that you can do for about $500... Truthfully he'll be a good amount louder than you also lol.

He has a headunit which is no fair to me since I don't.

BTW I don't know how to build a box, and he doesn't either. so we are screwed there. I was going to get type R but too many people have them imo.

I'm getting a custom box built, jumping up to 1200 watts, getting a hu, and getting better wire, an amp for my mid high, some comps, and doing the big three. He will only be louder for a little bit. But that's my homie so it's all good.

Thanks Marlo, I think that is pretty good for the money. I'm pretty sure between him and me we can find someone around here who does boxes.
