[QUOTE="magnus28, post: 7431597, member: 635155"] Change of plan ;-) I am a noob, but I DO listen... upon all of your advise, I brought back the crappy Scosche Subs, And I went into an Audio Shop, and I was going to buy a 10" Clarion that was rated 400 watts RMS for $100. I told the guy i'd think about it, and went to another Audio shop and told the guy I was broke and wanted something a little better for the same budget. Het told me he would do me a favor and sold me a display model that was just screwed in, but never hooked up. I managed to get a 10" Kicker that is rated @ 300 watts RMS. (4 ohm single coil) So my plan is to keep the scosche 281 watt rms amp, and bridge the 2 channels in 4ohm to the 10" kicker. so I will have the full 281 watts pumping the kicker, and i'm gonna buy a top end LOC that has I think he said 4 something pre out? can't remember what he said it does, but he said it was like having a smaller garden hose, then replacing it with a larger garden hose to provide more wattage coming into the amp, and more going out to the speaker. Did I do good? or should I have bought the clarion? next question is how will the LOC patch into my system? I plan on fixing it next to my amp (in the hatch) and then running it to the rear speakers? or head unit? I think this one has a remote turn on that will activate the amp when it detects imput on the speakers... But does this mean that I don't have to run anything to the H.U.? thx in advance [/QUOTE]
