budget...well don't really have one. ill end up piecing it together buying one thing at a time. bc my paychecks come in every 2 weeks.

and my definition of loud is where you can hear me from a good distance with clarity

I'd go with at the most half of your paycheck over a certain amount of time. Trust me, you don't wanna blow all of your money on your car right now when you should start saving for college. Scholarships don't always pick fairly and the FAFSA system is flawed, so you might end up paying more than you thought.

We still need a budget, how much are you willing to spend on everything?
The fiberglass box will probably have to be custom built by you or an installer, so the cost will depend on their price.

saying you want a fiberglass box isnt very specific. do you want one that goes into your spare tire well?

and be careful when you say you have no budget because ill recommend Macintosh amps (minimum of $1000), dynaudio speakers (minimum $700), JL w7 subs ($500 each). trust what everyone says, you DO have a budget.

as far as fiberglass box, i might be able to make you one depending on what you want. It wont be cheap, they arent like a prefabbed wood boxes where you can get it for $50.

Get a pair of Audioque SD 2.5's if you want something much louder then what you have now..they are like $140 per sub...

www.audioque.com

and contact BJ Fisher if you want a good box at a good price

www.fishercustoms.com

that should be a good starting point..we can talk about amps, and electrical upgrades later..lol
