here an amp or maybe two of them, they are "1000 WATTS" it's from the same store where they sell your "2000 watt" Sony.

hate to break it to ya, but that sub-amp combo is....well...its crap!
the subs will prolly sound like crap and the amp wont put out anywhere near its rated power!!!
if your on a low budget, get something like kicker comps, a pair of comp 12's for bout $80-90 shipped on ebay...they are good entry-level subs.
you could get the 4ohm models and wire them in parrallel to bout a 300watt RMS amp and put em in a vented box, that would be pretty good.....it wouldnt be HUGE bass, but it will be good bass.
my first set-up had two comp 10's...they are pretty good, for the price. |

first off dont look at MAX power rattings, they are total crap...only look at RMS rattings!
say you have two 300 watt RMS subs (Single voice coil 4ohm)...you could give them 200 watt RMS each (400RMS combined) and they would sound good...
but if you give them 300 watts RMS each (600 RMS combined) then you would prolly get a little more out of them...
Try to match the combined RMS of your subs to the RMS of your amp...
also you should do some reseach on Ohms Law if you are plannin to install them yourself... |
