[QUOTE="RokintypeRs, post: 7131608, member: 628360"] Hey Im new here so If I sound like I am a complete newb, please understand I dont know much about audio systems or how to use this site. I got 2 12" Kicker Comp series subwoofers around march of 2010. the amplifier they gave me was a kenwood kac-6104d 600w max with 300w rms. over time I got aftermarket speakers (2 6x9 alpine type s blowproof, and 2 6 1/2 alpine type r with external Kicker amplifer running at 200w rms), and I got a head unit, (dont know the actual name all I know is its a kenwood with built in bluetooth).
