[QUOTE="pimpnyou204, post: 6100807, member: 612180"] Alright i started this project a few weeks ago and I've had a few problems but managed to get past them. First i started out creating my own sub box and then after finishing it and rode around with that for awhile I decided i wanted more. I blew my first set of subs i had about 2 years (2 1000 watt 400 rms BMX Nitros.) And im kind of borrowing my friends 2 pioneer IMMPs (800 watt 300 rms). But I want to run 4 subs and i recustomized my box so that i have the 2 800 watts facing towards the front of the car and which ever other 2 subs i decide to get later will face towards the rear of the car (the box is one large one with 4 chambers for each speaker.) Now running my component speakers i have a Sony xplod XM-GTR2022 amp [URL="http://www.ikesound.com/sony_xm_gtr2022"]http://www.ikesound.com/sony_xm_gtr2022[/URL] Currently this amp overheats bad is what im guessing because if i turn it up too loud it will cut off and go in protect mode and all ill ride around with is bass unless i turn my head unit off and back on then it will work. Any other reason this might be happening? I also have a audiobahn A8002T that is just for the 2 subs at the moment which is perfectly fine and nice. [URL="http://www.buy.com/prod/audiobahn-a8002t-mosfet-2-x-400w-rms-amplifier-with-illuminated-logo/q/loc/111/90128904.html"]http://www.buy.com/prod/audiobahn-a8002t-mosfet-2-x-400w-rms-amplifier-with-illuminated-logo/q/loc/111/90128904.html[/URL] I also have a old infinity reference series amp 311a that i used to use for my old subs till i got the 2 newer amps.

Im really looking for something around 750-1000 rms subs. Im new to kicker so im kinda wondering for opinions and even better suggestions for my system.
