I already have the ones with the ** in front, i have to buy the others with this kids discount at bestbuy. Is there anything i should know or anything you may think it better for me to get than whats listed below, lemme know. I plan to dyno-mat everything. I have mono so i can't install it myself even if i knew how, i know just installation alone is gonna set me back a pretty penney. I'm getting a discount on the other stuff so it shoudln't be too pricey.
Pioneer DEH P8400M
R&T Enterprises 12" Dual Sub Band Pass Box
2 Rockford Fosgate 12" Punch HE Subs 400watt max each
Rockford Fosgate 2 channel 350watt*2 amp
**Pioneer 3 ways for the back
**Pioneer 2 ways for the front
**Lanzar motorized in-dash 6.4" screen w/tuner & dvd player
**PS2

band pass is good it's deeper sounding but go with a sealed box they are much better and smaller & that means less lbs wich means faster car. but yea go with sealed box. my last car I took to comptitions i won some not all but my point is most people there did have band pass. if you want to have a banging box go with a custom fiberglass encloser.:D

Ummmm it all depends on what you like to listen to.
Rock(and anything with a faster beat bass)= Sealed
Rap(long loud bass)=band pass
I personally listen to alot of different stuff so I stuck with a sealed box. Also your subs will last longer in a sealed box.

If you don't know your stereo stuff just go with band pass, it will give the average person the loud bass that they want. If you know your stuff, go with sealed, it's much cleaner sounding and gives clear accurate bass.
Ill probably end up getting Bandpass when i get my car...but that'll be like a year from now...DAMN PARENTS!!!!, i ****ing hate them!

Not bad i like u goin for the Pioneer 8400 head unit its very nice i am just about to buy one... u cna pretty much anything u want with it. Pioneer speakers is another good choice they are soo clean i have my whole car done with Pioneer speakers and subs and its the cleanest sound i have ever heard. i love Dynomat after puttin a trunk kit in mine it helped tons and i dont have it soundin like the whole back end is goin to fall out. but i say go for it..
