[QUOTE="Golitan11, post: 8129055, member: 655724"] Ok I contacted multiple Crutchfield advisors (to have several opinions) and here is what they said (in general): 1. For a single subwoofer it is better to have the 4-ohms model and set it up in parallel to have a 2-ohm load in the amplifier. 2. Both amplifier will do the job, except that the Alpine one will provide more output, but cost a lot much. 3. A capacitor is definitely a must have at those power range to ensure that the amplifier is always correctly powered. They recommended me the Tsunami Litewave Series PP92UM-CAP. 4. I should build it myself for a better overall sound and specific tuning for my subwoofer. 5. I will need new speakers but I can only change those in the front and change those in the back down the road if I want. An amplifier is not necessary if I do not want to drive them crazy. They recommended me the Polk Audio db651s (more natural) and the Infinity Reference 6032cf (more crisp). @mylows10 Why the Kenwood is junk and why the Big 3 is considered better than a capacitor? What do you guys think? [/QUOTE]
