[QUOTE="zako, post: 7322745, member: 629735"] It's not impossible to add a sub for this little money, at least without including the cost of wiring.. Amplifier: Jensen Power monoblock amplifier. Price under $100. Jensen is a ridiculously cheap brand, but I have no complaints about the 5-channel version. Solid build. The power ratings seem fine. The mono version is rated for over 400 watt RMS, which is plenty to power a decent sub woofer. Subwoofer: There is plenty of decent subs for around $100. I would prefer RE Audio SRX12 because I know it works well in a reasonably sized sealed box (1 to 1.5 cu ft). You get QTC of around 0.65 to 0.8 which combined with cabin gain of a midsize sedan will produce a reasonably "flat" response. In terms of output, it will produce more than enough in a sedan. Box: sonic sub boxes, sealed hatchback enclosure: 1 or 1.4 version, about $30 a pop, plus shipping. If I was buying something for myself right now, I'd probably increase the budget a little, to afford MB Quart or similar amplifier and a better sub, something like Peerless XXLS, RE SE/x, or something in that class.
