Hi all - I've been through several threads here but I'm not sure my question was really answered.

I have a 2015 F-Sport, non-ML, and am ok with the audio except lack of bass, so I want to add a amp/sub. I'll be getting an AudioControl LC2i for LOC duties, and through various threads here I know the procedure.

I don't care if it can be heard outside the car - but I do want it DEEP; I'm much more of an SQ guy than SPL. Would a "budget" setup like maybe a 12" Alpine Type-S and a Kicker CXA300.1 ($300 for both) be OK for this purpose, or would there be an appreciable difference in moving up to something like a IDQ sub with, say, a RF Punch (or JL) 500w amp?

Thanks much, guys.

I'm running JL 500w amp and 12inch JL w6, with a bass ****. I like the tight hard bass, like you getting jabbed in the chest. I don't care for setting off car alarms on the street as i drive by, but i have that ability. Go w/ a sealed box.

i have a sub setup forsale in the audio section here that would save space and fill what you're looking for!!

That setup should be fine to add some bass unless you looking for something to make car alarms go off lol. I have 1' 12 Memphis M5 and Memphis 16 - PRX-1000. My bass is more than enough. Glad I'm able to turn it down.

I ended up picking up a local deal - 2 JL 12w6v2's with a JX1000/1D, used. Clearly that'll be too much for the GS, so I plan on picking up another amp, and putting one 12 in the GS and the other in my wife's Tahoe. Thanks for the recommendations!
