[QUOTE="Newbieee, post: 8362956, member: 665143"] Hi everyone... I didn't know where to post this seen as I do have a few questions... First, I am not a pro when it comes to audio systems (i've installed subs, amps and head units but nothing to heavy). I have a CSX-s with the Navi 6.1 premium sound system. I decided to change my sub this year and ordered my amp (nothing too crazy as I will probably change cars next year). First question: My car has a factory amp (hidden behind the dash) and I was wondering if I could install the new amp without touching it? I would just unplug my factory sub and use those wires. (I would just need to pass the 12V wire, install the ground wire and install a remote wire). Second question: I think that my amp is too powerful for my sub so I'm wondering how I could calculate at what max level I could put it? Here are the specs of my [B]amp[/B]: 2-Channel Class AB ATX Series Car Amplifier MAXX Power Rating (rms): 4 ohms: 250 watts x 2 chan. 2 ohms: 500 watts x 2 chan. Bridged, 4 ohms: 1000 watts x 1 chan. Here are the specs of my [B]sub[/B]: 12" Single 4 Ohm CS Series Car Subwoofer Power Handling: Peak: 1000 watts RMS: 250 watts Anyway, thanks!!! [/QUOTE]
