Boss is not the way to go, there are better amps out there.

I would say try again on the amp, try to stay away from boss, legacy, pyramid. Look into a small, Hifonics, or Pheonix Gold

[stones 10+ year member]

Buy a 4channel amp, bridge channels A for the sub, and use channels B to run you're JVC coaxes.

Here's a nice one that don't cost too much.

(its a british site so the prices are in pounds.)

http://www.justkenwood.co.uk/stock01/kac8452.asp

70 watts RMS for each JVC

180 watts RMS for the sub.

o yes that is gd mate thanks i think i might get that 1. 1 question how do i bridge the sub into those two channels

and am i right in saying at 2ohms its mono and at 4 ohms its stereo??

thanks stones lol

If the subwoofer has a single 4ohm coil and you connect it to a bridged set of channels, you will have a 4ohm mono load. There is a bit of a misconception about it being 2ohms caused by the description of how an amp works when bridged, don't worry about it, it just makes things complicated.

To bridge a pair of stereo channels you simply use the - from one channel and the + of the other when connecting your subwoofer to make both channels work as one.

There will be full instructions in your amps user manual for this.
