Tiny System!

[Chicano2005]

So I got this 8" inch, 400w Pioneer with the box for 20$.

With what used amp can I combine it with to get some good sound??
Also what used deck should I get?

x2 you wont get much thump from an 8" maybe a 10" but like he said save your money and get something better, you will most likely come onto a good deal for bigger subs....

I say use what you have, just buy a good amp so when, not if, you get ready to upgrade, you won't have to shell out more money for a new one.

X2, or if you can find one dirt cheap just to get you by for the moment.

I dont wan't/need a big system just something that will get me a little bass because I park my car on the streets and they already broke into my car so I DON'T want anything expensive. thanks for your advice!

It would really depend on the specs of that particular sub. Im pretty sure Pioneer makes a decent 200-300w mono amp that would probably push that 8" just fine. Check the power handling and ohm load of the sub and go from there.

i say keep the 8" sub

i would buy a 4 channel amp and bridge 2 channels and run it to the 8

then if you get tired of it and want to upgrade then you can use that amp for midrange/high speakers

i always buy old school rockford, jl equipment myself

should give you a little extra bump but when your ready to upgrade this should be a nice step.

in custom to factory spec box should give you some nice bump. hell i just have a 12w3 in a box that is way to small with a crapp dual 460watt amp and my system is pretty clear and more then loud enough for me.
