[QUOTE="Popwarhomie, post: 8734158, member: 619389"] Adding another subwoofer and amp to run with your other kicker subwoofer on the 5 channel is a bad idea. You want matching subwoofers on the same amp. Your Kicker subwoofer rating is 400 watts and your amp is 500 watts. That doesn't mean you need a 500 watt subwoofer or need to add another subwoofer. On music you won't be seeing anywhere near that 500 watts. Going to a 500 watt rms subwoofer will make zero difference. If you want more bass you need to get a monoblock amp and not use the 5th channel on your 5 channel amp. That will cause cancelation and sound terrible. The box makes or breaks a subwoofer. What box do you currently have? A proper designed and built ported box could be all you need. I would also not run 4 coaxial speakers with another set of tweeters on top of that. A good single set of components would be a much better option. [/QUOTE]
