Sound System Help

well i am looking to buy a 2008 g37 and i wanted to know what sound system you guys recommend (if needed). i mean everything from amps to bass. i am a little slow when it comes to technical words so go easy . i mostly listen to rap and hip hop and prefer a nice bass if that helps.

Your car can only hold what your wallet can endure. With that being said, how much do you plan to spend?

My setup...
Kicker ZX1000.1 = $280
Kicker Solo Baric 10L7 x2 = $300
Wiring and fuse. = $~60
Sub enclosure = $140
Installation = $0. Did it all myself. If you're going to a shop, then add another few hundred dollars easily. They'll probably use a line out converter too, something I don't like at all because of the crappy sound quality they put out so I, like most people here, tapped into the Bose amp wiring for my RCA's.

At any rate, you're gonna need $. Might as well set aside a grand or so.

that setup looks fresh as hell. i feel if i only have one sub then its not as balanced as if i had 2 but i could be completely wrong. please correct me if i am wrong. i would really like your setup but a left sub and a right sub with the amplifier in the middle
