you guys think this sounds like a decent deal?
When I buy mine I found an installer that does it on the side for cheap on craigslist. 40 bucks for complete system install! lol

yeah i could probably do the same, but the guy that quoted me is a good friend and he runs a very professional shop and has done alot of stuff previously for me on my truck. plus he might can squeeze me a little more off that quoted price for a better deal, never know

Yea. My dad has a super crew with 1 mtx shallow 12 in an upfire box and I hate it, he had 2 Memphis 10's and the 10's put the 12's to shame!!

I'd do either at least 2 10's on a 500 watt amp, or 1 12 on atleast a 500 watt amp, just in case you ever wanna go bigger!!!
