I just got done with my UBER cheapo system. I spent maybe $150 on it altogether. I bought some subs off of ebay for $50 (2 RF 12" XLC's), I had an amp laying around but I am guessing you could score one like it for less than $50 (Legacy BS 600W x 2), and I picked up a wiring kit from Wal-Mart for $15. The most expensice part was the box which I bought brand new from Circuit City because I have an account there and that was $70.
It sounds much better than the stock radio but it isn't the loudest thing on earth but it goes to show that you don't have to spend a lot of money in order to upgrade your sound.

I agree that Diamond Audio is one of the best for the money. I got 2 M5's in my F-150 being pushed by a Viper 600.1 and they are pretty loud for the money. I think I might add on another 600.1 so I can be hellaciously loud. 750 watts in each sub. PG is ok but i dont really like any of there subs since they got rid of the X Max.
I disagree that Audiobahn is shit i have an Aluminum 12 in my cavalier and its not really loud, it keeps me satisfied. but I dont want my car to rattle apart. My opinion is if you dont really care about sound quality, then the cheap subs will work for you, just dont put a really big amp on them, if you do you probably will blow so many of those you might as well have bought the more expensive subs and been able to enjoy the smooth sound.
I get wait to buy another car so i can start on another system. Maybe go with 3 Diamond audio TDX's and 2 Viper 2500.1 amps with some nice diamond audio 6.5 components.
