1)There is always a catch to cheap subwoofers,that are too cheap.Sometimes yes you might find a great bargain,or it can totally go the opposite way.When buying car subwoofers,car head units,tweeters,amplifiers and speakers always go by the rms wattage not peak or max ratings.Its usually either on the back of the magnet on a sticker or in the user manual.Rms shows the true real power your that your audio can handle.Peak power is usually there to get your attention to buy the amps and woofers.Like in big bold letters you will see on the front of the car amp 1000 WATTS,this is just to make you think that your getting a1000w real power amp when you are not.

2)Don't by brands that don't no how to make decent car audio products.There are many brands like audiopipe and volfenhag subwoofers,that offer affordable sound.Theses are ok if you can't really afford brands like Allpine,Kenwood,Jbl or Infinty.But too cheap audio equipment will not last you long,before you know it they will blow out So save up some extra cash and buy something that is your worthy.

3)If you are buying second hand.used subwoofers or any other types of equipment from the internet,then check the subs if the voice coils are in good shape.To check if the voice coil has burned out gently press the cone in and out by placing your hand on the dust cap.If it doesn't hardly move then its probably knackered and needs a recone kit.Also for speakers look for any tears or damage on the spider and rubber edge surroundings.For amps you can't tell,so ask if they can shows you a demo of the amp in action.If not your risking your cash for something that could be worthless.

4)This might happen,some day you drive past a in car entertainment store down town and you see a nice for example 6x9 parcel shelf speakers on display.You can't wait to hear them and have them installed,and pay the price with out knowing you can get them cheaper.Look around different audio suppliers near your area,don't be lazy.Checking online is better because most of the time cheap goods are usually on the internet.For cheap car bass boxes and other audio related, try ebay or free classified ads,you are guaranteed to grab a bargain.

5)When it comes to buying head units,companies that make them like Allpine add in big letter "50X4 WATTS".This is not the real output that you thing you are going to get out of your unit.Usually most head units are 26X4 RMS.The max output from a top of the range head unit is around about 30X4 RMS.They can't make head-units that powerful,due to small components that build heat up fast in such small space,be aware of this.If you want power get a separate amp and wiring kit,as adding one will increase your sound output signal.Check review of the car equipment that you want to buy.Reading expert reviews helps to understand more about it and find out what other people think about it.
