[QUOTE="Jeffdachef, post: 8326658, member: 650438"] Most subs play from 20-100hz range and resonate at 40-50hz not 80-100 that is midbass speakers category, subs sound like poop in that frequency range. Same head units i suggested It has everything you need along with sound quality. All head units are tested to only produce around 12 real watts per speaker channel so power rating does not matter at all. With the sub stage set up recommended, sooner or later he's going to have to upgrade the mids and highs and amp them too but no need yet since you can always turn the subwoofer level down on the head unit and have a nice blend for daily listening. 2 sundown SA 8s or SA 10s dual 4 ohms (wire to 1 ohm nominal) under the seat, facing forward with the port firing into the side(ported is a must). If you want a cheaper 8" then look at soundqubed hds208s. a video of what a single SA 8 can do in a proper box. [MEDIA=youtube]qWg7RX5Xc7c[/MEDIA] Power should be a monoblock amp, a soundqubed 1200.1D would be the lowest priced quality amp that puts out more then rated power. dont even think about using two channel amps, they are meant for speakers, monoblocks are for subwoofers.
