3-Way Components?

They come witha psssive X/O so you can do it with a two channel.. i know a guy at one of my favorite local shops running 150 continuous..not the three was but it is still rediculously loud..so start with 100x2 amp..then go up if it isnt enough..Use the tweet and midrange in kicks but buid or buy an enclosure for the midbass up fron tsomewhere..in the door in the floor or whatever.
