u can find a better sub and amplifier if u look in the fourms classifieds. I feel ur paying tooooooo much for that little amp.

U can get 1300 watts @ 2ohms for $175 here:

I know i can get things cheaper everywhere besides the shop, but they dont warranty it.. they were like if u blow things, we can help u faster etc.

I don't understand what other opinions you want. Most people here aren't going to tell you to buy from a shop and let them install for you. They're going to tell you to buy online and install yourself. So if you don't want to go do it yourself and need the warranty then let the shop do it, but if you think you can do it yourself and don't need the warranty then you can do it yourself and/or find someone here local to you to help you or do it for you. To me it seems like you want the warranty so you might want to just let the shop do it then because if you have problems with it then they can fix it for you. It pretty much depends on whether or not you want to put in work and be involved with your system.

I use that amp to push a 250 watt pioneer premier 10 at 4 ohms. It does the job. Get it if its big enough. 200 is as good as ul do new. BB has the same price. No need for a million watts in ur setup unless ur goin for bigger or more subs.

its just going to be more people say you can get better.

As stated, better can be had for the same or a lesser price, but if you don't have the knowledge to install or learn to install, your not going to get a much better packaged deal at a local shop.
