[QUOTE="Moble Enclosurs, post: 7430640, member: 634917"] Most decent head units are 100w,yes....most.....not all. So, that is 25w each channel, and nominally 12w to each driver. If the midbass drivers are high sensitivity, this will be fine as a starter, not to mention the added clarity of a head unit replacement alone. Great first investment for anyone. So, if you want 12w to each midbass, you will need to know the sensitivity of them to know how well they will blend with the sub. Then knowing the subs nominal power and sensitivity. If theyy comes close to matching in that aspect, you should be fine with them blending....but you can always lower the gain of the amplifier during initial tuning to match the middriver levels anyhow. Even a very low powered full system can accommidate most standard needs if the tuning is done correctly. But don't forget, the enclosure will increase sensitivity as well, so that needs to be considered as well. It doesn't sound so simple when you think about how involved it can be, but not that bad once you start doing it step by step [/QUOTE]
