I'd go with a $5 footlong from subway. Jared endorses it, AND you'll still have $195 left over.

otherwise I have no clue about audio. I pull stuff out, but I never put stuff in.

There was a guy that did a whole new set up on his RS4, of course his was the saloon not the cabriolet. For 200 bucks sweety you won't get anything decently good or better than what you have.

I was gonna tell you the stock speakers are better than that.

What are you looking for mostly? SQ or full on bass? Also is there a specific size?

i think full on bass. what's SQ?

really just whatever you think works well with the other components and still under $200
i don't think size matters. (lol)

^ That's what she said!!!

SQ = Sound Quality.

So space for the box isn't limited?

NO, it's probably him that says size doesn't matter.

no i don't think it's limited.
i've been looking at crutchfield and they have a good deal here, just not sure if it's right for the amp.

i think the amp needs to be turned down some to meet the sub requirements.

it was $269, now $169

but how would you balance the decision of SQ with full on bass?
what would you get if this was your options?
