[QUOTE="DRBOOM, post: 8673736, member: 676005"] Other factors to consider when buying audio system is if you are chasing SQ or after ground pounding sound that sets off car alarms and wakes up the dead! 4 channel is better as you can get a dedicated monoblock for bass duties. so two amps here, a four channel , monoblock, remember the rule should 2:1 so if you have a 200watt 4 channel you need at least 400watts or more for a monoblock amp Once you decide which amp, then you will also need power wire kit, sound deadening material, and know what size speaker will fit your standard locations as modifications can be costly :uhoh: Lastly, if you are using your stock radio, then you will need high to low converter or buy an amplifier that has signal sensing , like Pioneer amplifier, but other amps may have that as well.,,,very important or your amps will be wired to ignition and will be on until you take the keys out so it can become annoying as hissing emits from your tweeters :crying: With subwoofers, it comes down to the amount of space you need to sacrifice in your trunk area, and also if you have a subwoofer, consider investing on a speaker grill so your investment does not get damaged by your girlfriends shopping days, or your tools or golf bags, if you play that kinda sport. :suave: Let us know how you go mate!
