[QUOTE="TheJuggla1, post: 6243463, member: 609399"] I dunno not an expert, but I think the first question you should ask is your amp bridgeable? In a way that sub is getting like no power, but it sounds like you aren't really a bass man(or women) if you want barley any bass, just a small amount doesn't sound like a bad idea, you just might be overworking your amp. Just go with the lowest watt sub you can find because you will be paying more for a sub you won't fully be using. If I am wrong someone here will correct me. You may just wanna upgrade to some speakers with better bass. Running the speakers off the HU, just because the HU can give out 100 or so Watts, a lot of those watts could just be distortion. Personally I'd save up or wait for a deal(Ex. I remember best buy having a sale 12" x2 subs + amp and box for only $250Can., they weren't the best quality but it was pretty good bang for your buck I sent my friend there it he got them they sounded pretty decent) I'd just wait for a sale similar to this.
