    I have no idea what I'm doing... (amp and sub upgrade)

I can only turn my gain up to 40-45% with the head unit volume at 30/50 before the protection light flickers here and there. Or...

    Two 12 Inch Subs and Amp for <500

    I would like a pair of 12 inch sub-woofers, and an amp that accommodates them for less than 500 bucks. I would prefer the sub-woofers to be more crisp, and cleaner, instead of just really loud if possible. Any suggestions would be welcomed, along with links of course.
