I don't really know what they stand for.. I'm new to everything.

I don't know, I'm working so this setup is basically all being saved up for, I've got enouhg for the amplifer installed and stuff, just need a few more weeks to save up for the rest. So cheaper = better, but I don't mind saving up a bit more if its worth the money.

But $200 seems decent. What's the recommended box for the RE SE? And how much would the box cost? 12" of course.

RE SE requires 1.0 cu.ft. for the 12" version. Im sure someone on here could build you a box. i wouldnt buy a prefab for a sub like that.

Thanks a lot guys. I think I've decided unless someone can suggest something good

KnuKonceptz Wires
Custom Box?

OH One more question, what wires do I need? 4AWG or 8AWG? And should I get the 4 channel wiring or the normal wiring?

Thanks for everything guys.

CDT CL-61A - $140

Focal 165H - $185

JL VR650CSi - $210

I know all three are nice. I've heard good things about all brands. But should I stick with the cheaper CDTs or would you guys recommend paying extra money for a boost? Would this boost be noticably different?
Money IS a factor. As you can see, I'm around the low end part of Car Audio, I do not have the money to get all the high end things.
I'm about to finalize my system soon and buying it, please feel free to suggest other brands/items.
Thanks a lot in advance.


Just to throw a bone here, but Focal is not supported for sale on the internet. Anything that is sold on the internet will NOT be warranteed nor is it current equipment. I just looked at the picture, and Polyflex is NOT a current model. It has been called Access for a few years now.

here is the equivalent of that setup you have priced. Hope this helps. --Joe

Oh I see. Thanks a lot Joe. Yah I wish I had money to go to a store and buy it all from them. But I don't, this is kind of a budget system for myself.

While looking at wiring at knukonceptz, I ran into the eKO and the normal one. Which one should I get? the normal one is more expensive?

I got bored while doing homework and looked at some boxes:

http://www.crutchfield.com/S-4HtokQPmFU ... 044QLH12S1
http://www.crutchfield.com/S-4HtokQPmFU ... 044T1012SS
http://www.crutchfield.com/S-4HtokQPmFU ... 044H1012SS

How do those work? They are all 1 cubic foot. Obviously some sizes are preferred in terms of trunk space, but I don't want my RE SE to sound like crap! Sorry if I'm asking any obvious questions, don't know too much yet.

Should I stick with custom boxing?
