starter sound system

Hello, i'm very new to sound systems, I wanted to know if art welter's keystone 18" sub would pair well with 2 the box pro Achat 110M, or is it better to make diy tops for a better price, im also not extremely good at woodworking so any more simple suggestions would be highly appreciated. Thank you:)

After a quick calculation, for 2k - 2.5k you'll be able to achieve your aims if you build the 2 x ELFs & 1 x V2 2x12 cabs yourself, & use the recommended HOQS drivers which are far cheaper, but near the equivalent of leading industry components.

In terms of amps, you only need one powerful Admark DSP amp & a smaller Admark amp to handle your kick/mid-tops. At this point you'll have a solid foundation on which you can build from. The balance will be for distros, cables, leads etc.

Ohh i looked it up, but it seems that the V2 2x12 doesnt really go high up in the frequencies so that might be a problem, maybe you have any other recomendations for the top, but maybe i just want too much for the budget i have :Dd. Still, thank you a lot for helping

The V2 2x12 has dual 1.4" compression drivers. Are you looking at the correct cabinet?
