Hi guys, a friend of mine with a Camry and 300 dollars to burn wants a system and I was curious off the top of your heads without burdening urselves to much with research and stuff what I should look into, the only constraint is price and loudness. He just wants to be able to hear it from a long ways away. Thanks for your help.

300 bucks is kinda tight, but we can sure try to help him... does he have any components yet for the system i.e: head unit, amps, speakers,subs, wires, enclosures..... lets get that out of the way.... if he has nothing yet then we have to ask does he want his stock head unit or aftermarket, the later of the two is usually best for adding systems, no need for LOCs.... but if he had 300 set aside just for a sub/amp setup we will be a little closer to his goal... have to factor wiring in as well. usually under 50-75 bucks and comes with everything you will need, power/ground. terminals. remote cable, rca cables....but if he has the money just for amp and subs here could be some choices...
here is 2 12 inch comp vrs, bout 150 for both shipped

he may have to save up a lil bit and wait it out, as for subs are many other choices but i personally know what 2 12s can do and for the prices its pretty hard to bea the spl performance of these woffer... the sq aint so great but it sounds like ya buddy is looking for some massive bass. these still have ok sq just nothing to bragg about ya know what i mean.... but dont just go out and get these on my words alone. goto shops and listen to speakers. get a feel for whats out there. anymore questiongs just ask. im sure others will post too. good luck

You can squeeze in the various equipments according to ur budget, but all u can get is average quality stuff, ultimately the kind of sound you desire will depend on the installation, the enclosure and the settings.
Once you decide upon the stuff to buy, we can later start with the installation process.
A Bandpass, or an EBS would be what we wud want to have to make the system BOOM.. I would be more than ready to help you with making that.
A good healthy 300+wmrs would do the trick with an appropriate subor subs. probably a 12" or 15" or 2 x 12" according to the space available.
Also do u just have to buy a mean bass machine in those 300$ or do u need the HU, speakers , subs and amp in those 300$ if thats the case, then i am sure you wont be able to find that kind of cheap equipment. and even if you do manage to buy i am sure they are going to be very poor quality equipments.

I'm going to have to go with cutting your muffler and catalytic converter off as the loudest possible system. Granted, it may cost you only $3...it'll help you save up for your destination system.
I always recommend starting with one question: Where do you want to be when your system is complete?
Many folks get started in car audio, haphazardly, and end up with equipment they don't need or want after just a few months. This is why Boss, Legacy, Jensen, Visonik, etc. and the like can make a buck.
Once you answer to yourself what type of system you intend to end up with, I'd recommend purchasing the best products to complete that job rather than trying to limit yourself to $300. You may be better off replacing the front and rear speakers, use whatever factory head unit you have, and revisit the idea when you have more money later.
