what about a more powerful sub, would that be better. i really dont know much about what to look for in a sub and amp. i really just look at rms

whats ur budget, and i and others can help you out.

 

[john3387 10+ year member]

well im in the process of trying to find someone to buy my current system, which you can see in my signature, for at least 250. subs, amp, and box. i think its reasonable, and after i sell that im going to put that 250 to new subs. my girlfriend is going to buy the amp for me, and she said 300 is the most lol, got lucky with that. but my budget is around 500 to 600 bucks

cool, well how is your electrical system? you might need a small bat cap, like a kinetic hc600 or 800 to run over 1000 rms.
