[QUOTE="shorti, post: 5673985, member: 604590"] 1500w kenwood?? More like 250w.. If a $100 sub is your budget you could either sell that amp and buy one nicer sub and one nicer, but smaller power, amp or just get those two kenwoods and keep your gain way down. I wouldn't waste the money on them though seeing as how with $386 you could get a very nice 12 and a nice amp to power it. Rule of thumb.. if a subs MSRP price is less than or equal to $100 and claims over a 1000w power handling expect it to be much less. In fact on the link you provided it says "380wRMS." I'm not saying they will be garbage subs.. my friend has some subs he bought for $100 and I personally love them, granted they aren't nearly as loud as mine but they do sound better. But in conclusion if I was in your situation I would take that amp back to the store and get a good mid level sub and amp, throw it in a nice box and be VERY happy with the outcome. [/QUOTE]
