[QUOTE="Improv, post: 8179132, member: 658238"] Hello Guys, Just got my first car a 2010 Polo, cost me £4000 1 downside is that the sound system is factory fitted. I have £1000 budget which I think is decent. [IMG]http://puu.sh/4QWq4.jpg[/IMG] My cousin who also has got his car recently now has a 1200 watt enclosed sub which he thinks is the dogs bullocks (British expression). I have done a small amount of research and from what I see the big number (1200) is usually the peak power which from what I understand is just what it can handle for short bursts (Don't know what a short burst is 3, 30 seconds?) The magic number we need to look at is the RMS power as this is what it can constantly deliver if I am not mistaken. Now from what I've seen is that these low quality cheap rubbish (his was £80) is that they boast huge numbers but only have like 200-300 RMS (I have seen 350 RMS but not at £80). So what I want to do is pretty simple get a sound system in my Polo which will literally rattle his little Peugeot 107 from down the road :P I have done some looking around and found these: [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/5L78Glj.jpg[/IMG] "Precision Power PPI PC.12 1600W" They say 1600 Watts Peak but RMS is 800 Watts and Impedance is Dual 2 ohms, So I want 2 of these (Obviously). I am not a Bass Junkie I would also like to get some normal speakers for the highs and mids and not be drowned out by the lows from the subs. [COLOR=blue]What Speakers to match the subs so I don't look like a bell-end (British expression)[/COLOR] [COLOR=blue] [/COLOR] [COLOR=blue]What Amp do I get? I get confused with all the 2 ohms and 400 4 ohms at 900 and stuff like that...[/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
