I think you need better quality bass & bass amplification, but otherwise it sounds nice.

you know what you need: something in your system from ALPINE.


ok, that wasn't very funny. i like alpine, though. some people think of them as entry level, but i've always had good luck with them. just like any other brand, if you're willing to spend the money then they have some great stuff.

He means a 10" sub and a 100 watt amp will give you hardly any bass at all. At least go with two 10's and a 250-500 watt amp.

No, that's not exactly what I meant. 1 10" can provide plenty of bass for anybody that's not a basshead that wants their ******* to tingle for an hour after he gets out of the car. A "100 watt" amp is usually too small for a 10" sub, unless it's a true 100 watt per channel amp, but nobody rates their stuff that way anymore. I assumed that the amp is 100 watts total, and can probably fit into the palm of your hand. The T320 is rated at 160 bridged into 12 volts, 220 bridged into 14 volts. That's a good amount of power for a 10" sub, especially considering that the V12 amp line is rated more conservatively than their non V12 stuff. That's why it costs twice as much as the T130, but it's a much better amp. At least in my eyes, $300 is the threshold that gets you into most company's "good" stuff. It's a good enough amp that you won't outgrow it in 2 months, and by being a 2 channel amp instead of a mono amp, it's versital enough to power something else in your system if/when you want to upgrade your sub amp, or it's powerful enough to push an extra sub if you decide to get more subs.
