Well I just recently decided that I'd like to get a sub for my 2004 4runner, however, I don't know enough about brands, what sounds good, etc etc. I was looking into getting a 12' but I want quality, for a decent price. Am I going to need a new deck and and amp along with the sub? I'd also like to have a rough estimate on how much I'm looking to have to put into it. Thanks!

All really depends on what exactly you want to do and how much you want to spend. You could get a powered sub, one with a built in amp, and then run it without a separate amp, however, if I were you I would spend a little bit more money and get a separate sub and amp. I run a JL 12W6 pushed by a JL 500/1 amp which will kick like crazy if you want but also provides excellent sound quality and accurate bass. However, this setup will put you back close to $1000. With that said, I would recommend any JL products. I have been told that the W3 subs of theirs are excellent for the money and you could get a decent amp to go along with it for under $300, I would assume. I am sorry about my lack of knowledge when it comes to pricing, but I would imagine you could get a pretty nice setup for $500 or less. I would recommend you check out a reputable shop in your area and/or look at or call Crutchfield. Hope at least some of this helps. Good luck.

to answer the question about a new deck, no...you can use your current deck...all decent quality amps will allow you to tap into your speaker wires to get an input for the sub...if you're not looking for something GREAT, and you dont want to spend alot of money, check out Active Enclosures | FUSION Electronics I had their 10" and it was decent. I just really prefer the active enclosures because you know that the box, the amp, and the sub are all going to be ideal for each other and it makes hooking it up that much more easier. They are also really cheap and have alot of the same features that more expensive amps have...just my opinion.
