i had a 1000w alpine sub powered by an 800W(peaks ratings) kenwood amp, was definitely more than enough bass for my music . Have standard shite factory swtup in my current car, but looking at an alpine headunit, 2 sets of JBL or infinity 6x4's and some sort of amp and sub, not sure which yet though

ehh, one thing I notice is peoplw always say I dont' want too much bass.

one way to combat that is to have sufficient highs and mids. No one concentrates on them, excpet me.

get a crossover and power your interior speakers....and get tweeters.

For great audio quality: choose MB Quartz or Orion. THose speakers simply rock

I work as a car audio installer, and honestly the choice of using a sealed or ported box depends greatly on the sub that your going to use. I will say this never use a bandpass box, the response is poor and they are prone to damageing speakers.
Someone else was praising MB Quarts. MB Quart as a company has been sold. Most of their top engineers have left and now work with JL Audio developing their coaxials and components.
Do you have a price range that you would like to be in? Are you listening to strictly trance music? What kind of car is it in?
I myself have a kenwood kvt-911dvd which is a dvd player/screem, sirius satellite radio, and a 40gig hard drive. The music is sent from one of these to an alpine 13 band in dash eq with a parametric equalizer. The signal then goes to a soundstream picasso, and a soundstream 10.1, both class a amplifiers. The picasso powers JL Audio three way components, and the 10.1 powers a solobaric 12". For the electrical system I use an optima red top, and a 24v 1 farad capactitor. I also have quite a bit of dynamat in the car.
Now that I'm sure I bored you with this, if you have any questions about your own system, feel free to send me a PM, I'll do my best to help you.

in your car!??

yeah, its cool.

kicker solo-baric

for trance i personally like the mids and tweets the most... i dont dwell on teh base. for my subs i picked up a couple rockford fosgate 10" in a sealed box i made out of 1" thick mdf. its crisp and clean sounding. i have a nice chrome MA audio 1400 watt amp taht i picked up at the local clearance house for 200 bucks that powers my subs and i have a nice set of rockford aluminum tweeters on the dash, another set on teh top of the a pillars, two four six inch 2 way rockfords in teh doors, two blaupunkt six by nines in the packagetray and i mounted 2 4" two way rockfords under the headliner right behind the front seats in the roof adds a really cool three d effect. all these are powered by a 8 channel MA audio amp. and my head unit is a rockford mp3 cd deck. all in all i find for trance anyways its the mids and trebbles that are key. bass is nice but its not teh be all end all. i have been in way too many of my buddies cars taht just go out and buy a new head unit and huge subs. all you feel is bass, which is cool and all but i just get a bit sick of it. i like the melodies and such in trance... now if you listen to jungle or dnb alot then i would recooment getting the huge subs. but as far as im concerned spend the money wehre it counts. good mids and tweets...thats where you can hear the fidelity anyways..

i got factory speakers and well, it doesnt sound great, but i enjoy the musik

Don't have any speakers atm...

But I still enjoy the music

My setup sounds awesome.

I have a Honda Prelude (Small car, but unfortunately not a hatchback, hatchbacks usually have better sounding bass).

I run a Kenwood in dash CD to 4 Cerwin-Vega 2ways w/ the aluminum cone and all that, they sound badass.

I have a 600 w amp powering 2 10" Kenwood tornadoes in a sealed box, and for the size of the car, its plenty of bass. For a smaller vehicle as mine, I would recommend 10's over 12s, not just for space reasons but for response. The 10's can be overwhelmingly loud if I want them to be.

Yeah, those tornadoes are pretty good for how much they cost. I have a pair of 12" tornadoes for sell, brand new in packaging, if anyone's interested 35$ +s.h. for the pair.
But I will say that there are quite a few 12's out there that respond much better than the kenwood 10's, but on the other hand typically cost more...my point is you can't really just say 10's or 12's there are other things that come into play...spider material, cone material, spider width, surround width, and more but you get the point...
Your best bet is to bring one of your own cds into a store and play the same song over and over on different speakers, then get what sounds best to you. Impossible to go wrong like that.

$35 for the pair?
You've got to be kidding me.
How much would shipping be to Indiana... if it's not too much, I'll gladly take them off your hands.
