I'm considering buying a sub and amp but know very little really except what brands are good n which are shit and how to wire them up (kinda) Sooooo... popped into halfords earlier for an air freshner n 4t I'd ave a look at the subs, they wanted £79.99 for a Focal 13" sub 400rms (that make sense?) around 92.5db or summinlike that! Are they shit? I know focal comps are good but dunno bout the subs?! I really wanna 12" sub and amp - value for money not competition worthy! Seems like amps are just as expensive as the subs.. 
Any help would be grrrrreat

stay away from halfords mate full of pikies in there 
personally mate, set yourself a budget for what you want to send then work from there 
Also, when you ahve found some nice stuff, search for reviews on google and see what other people have said...it always helps 
And i wouldnt go for the focal...comps are MINT, but there usual price for a sub is around the 400 quid mark, so 80 seems abit too cheap...so i would stay away

I wouldnt let them install it in a million years but sometimes they ave good stuff going cheap but this sub was £200 but hasn't shifted so now its £79.99 
Budget of around £400 roughly, like I sed am on tite budget and I'm after something with a good thump (mainly listen to hip-hop n rock) and good sound quality..but am a novice when it comes to ICE

if you just after a sub/amp for the 400 quid mark then there is a directed package, >> HERE << for the 350 mark that will sounds mint, although you will need to buy a box and wiring ontop.
