Hi I am Nomad aka Damon, I am a little on the

side.

I love anything to do with cars, especially with car audio considering that even though i have a horrible sub and amp i still can blow away most of the people that pay car audio places for the "best" setup

I drive a 1987 BMW e30 328IS(yes it has a 2.8 liter stroker motor in it, not stock)

My POS setup(besides the HU):
Pioneer Premier DEH-590IB
Stock 20year old Component speakers
MTX 7500 15" powered by a boss ch-850
I made the wiring all by myself...
Optima Yellow Top in the trunk(stock location, smart germans)

Anyways I am just looking into making my system a little bit deeper bass and a lot more pounding, the stock speakers still sound a lot better then the pioneers i had in my previous car.

Any help would be greatly aprechiated, thanks

Thanks for the welcome, I was currently looking at upgrading to a Diamond Audio D6 12" With a MA M1889I, It will be overpowering the sub by 200watts rms. But i figure if it's built like my MTX it can stand being over powered by tons, i have hooked up a mtx amp with 800rms and it still hit very good with the same sound quality. Input is welcome, I am looking for a sub and amp worth the money that cost less then 350$, with building my own box

Also consider Fi Car Audio, Ascendant Audio, Sound Splinter and TC Sounds, among others. You'll get the low bass you're looking for if you port and tune low.

hahah yea WolfPack Audio Sub... That sucker will take anything you throw at it. But def +1 for all the above suggestions... with an addition of Bravox and Eclipse Titanium series

I would suggest a different choice in amp also... The MA will produce the power, but they are very power hungry and will jump into protect quick if they don't get it... I would suggest Massive Audio, Autotek, or even Crunch for good solid power.
Also the addition of Massive Audio subs to the list mentioned above.

Well i do have a 100amp alternator in my car from a bigger 7 series bmw. No matter how much i turn up my sub or increase the gain my protection light never comes on like it used to when i had the stock alternator. I will look at the other sub brands, anyone have any other suggestions other then sonicelectronix.com to look for subs, i once thought cardomain had a limited selection now after reading up on subs, i think sonicelectronix has a very limited selection and car domain is too much of a hassle to even type in. Also I don't listen to much rap basically Techno and a mix of rock, so i will still want some sound quality

Best suggestion would be to buy from an authorized dealer... Most of your online stores may say that they are authorized for this or that when they really aren't because the manufacturer does not allow online web sales and some do allow, but not listed at that low a pricing... What does this mean? It means that you get No factory warranty on any of the products you buy.
