[QUOTE="jer_hong, post: 6050011, member: 610786"] I'm pretty sure there's a couple of those amps on the classifieds here. Might've been a different forum. Try taking a look at the classifieds, you'll find good deals pretty often. Of course, if you'd rather buy new for whatever reason, that's your choice, but you could definitely save some money by shopping used. The warranty is reassuring though. Also, crutchfield is a good site, but the main reason people love them so much is due to their customer service. They're always very willing to help, and for the most part, are pretty knowledgeable about whatever you need. They're even willing to do the install with you over the phone, step by step if that's what you need. I believe that's why many people buy from them, but as the previous poster said, there are definitely better deals for new equipment out there, you've just gotta go find them. Regarding your sub choice, there are some who swear by RF, and others who don't. Some say that their newer stuff isn't as good as their older stuff, but of course that is mostly just opinion. IMO, I think you can get a better sub-stage for around the same price as those. Is there any specific reason you're going for a dual 12 setup versus a single 12? For that price, you can get a single 12 that will probably hit harder and sound better than both of those together. You should read up on the various sub choices available by going to the subwoofer sub-forum. You can probably find a cheap enclosure on here, or maybe your local craigslist, as well. Lastly, that amp miiight be a little weak for those subs. I'm not sure if the specs posted on crutchfield are for EACH sub, or both of them, but that would make a big difference. I myself am new to car audio, but from what I see, those subs are 4 ohm, and the rating for the amp at 4 ohms is only 300x1, meaning 150w would go to each sub. If i'm completely wrong, anyone feel free to correct me. [/QUOTE]
