What kind of rims are you looking for? Big gawdy ones or offroad rims or just some stock-size-but-better-looking rims?

I'm a big JL Audio guy when it comes to subs. 2 10's will do great. Here's what I did for my setup.

not offroad. im looking for something like these

[REZN]

and how much did all the work you did with the audio cost you???

If you read the thread there is a breakdown on what it cost for the materials. If you put deep dish rims on an SUV it will look cheap and devalue the car. If I were you I'd spend the money in the sound system. Make it sound clean not boomy. All boomy does is make it sound horrible from the outside, unless you synamat/accumat the entire vehicle.

the deck cost me$940 but i was going all outthe subs are 2 kenwood 12" got in the box for $300, power cap i cant remember and the amp i got off my friend.

you will need a wiring kit possibly a harness and depending on the deck you choose a dashkit.

Hw much did it cost you to cut out the carpet and put glass over your amp, so it's see through?

go for 2 15" rockford punch HX2

rim wise the R50's look great with many TIS wheels...if you go bling that is

Amp and sub choice kinda depends on how much you want to spend, and how loud you really want to go. Having done sound competitions in other vehicles, I'm tired of all the bass. I'm going for clean sound with 1 10" woofer. I'll probably go with an Alpine Type R 10 (decent woofer and I get discounts:) in a sealed box to take up less space in the back. If you want more bass, get more woofers. 2 12s always sound nice. I personally don't like 15s because they tend to rumble too much and can't handle the tighter, punchy bass. Bigger isn't always better... I used to spank 15s with my 2 12s at competitions....

haha...what kinda numbers did you hit?

I agree 100%. I used to have 12w6's in my car until I revamped my system completely. I've now got 2 10w3's and they sound incredible. I always stuck with JL Audio because it's more of a musical sub with much more definition, they also boom if you need them to. In my old Ford Exploder I was hitting in low 150db range with a pair and an old school crossfire amp. When it comes to stereo's I live by one motto, be smart, not ghetto.

I say do it right with some good musical subs, door speakers (component/composite), solid amps and use sound dampening material throughout the entire vehicle. Be very detailed too, i even sound dampened my license plates. After doing it correctly in my car it's the best sounding ride I've ever been in, and I've been in a lot including world record holders, not cranked up of course.

I bought another carpet and cut it out my self.

the amp door i cut out and had my neighbor fit in a peice of plexiglass, so it cost me like $20 for the carpet i butchered.

[QUOTE=REZN]anybody have any advice on what kinda subs and amps i should get?

kicker, jl audio, alpine, re audio, rockford fostgate (older ones) , memphis power reference is one of the best "bang for your buck" subs, they are $90 each (new) from an authorized dealer, and comparable to the much higher priced JL Audio W3 line

^ 2nd that. I've never had rockford or memphis, but I've never been disappointed by the other brands listed.
