    how much is a lot of money?
    how many subs do you want?
    what size?
    and you want to replace all your stock speakers?

    Focal K2 Power.. Possibly the best sounding speaker on the planet. These are about $580 a set.

    For subs Id say go with a single 12. Check out Diamond Audio and look at their CM3 12 D4. Its about $200, can handle 500 rms and will work in a pretty small box and still sound great.

    For amps look to Audison. These are ridiculously clean amps (.009% THD!!!) and will work your Focals very well. This one goes for $600.

    For the sub amp Id say this one should work quite well. This one is a little more powerful than your sub can handle so take care when adjusting the gain. Goes for around $700.

    Do you want a booming system or an accurate one eh?
    - Not Tom ::::::: Any system can play Diana Krall. Only the best can play Limp Bizkit.

    look at my post there
    i only recommended one sub, just double that
    2 of those is all you need
    the money you have left over will get you a nice alternator from Ohio Alternator
    dont bother running those 2 amps with an aftermarket alternator or youll fry youre electrical system

    As long as your constructing with the right stuff, which i believe the most used is 3/4" MDF Board, it wouldn't matter what you covered it with.

    MDF Board is redundant. MDF stands for Medium-Density Fiberboard
