[QUOTE="flu3ncy, post: 352664, member: 551683"] Hey.. I'm completely new to car audio, but wanted to get a cheap system that bumps fairly hard. I already have a Panasonic head unit in, as well as Eclipse/Focal speakers.. so now I just need to get an amp and some subs. I was looking at Sony Xplod, since it seems like they do some decent damage for a pretty low cost. Money -is- an issue for me. But I had a couple questions about compatibility.. I wasn't sure how it worked. Can a mono amplifier power 2 subs in a box? The amp I was looking as is this: [URL="http://www.crutchfield.com/cgi-bin/S-Po461aXQ7RR/ProdView.asp?s=0&c=3&g=130&I=158XMD1000&o=m&a=0&cc=01&avf=N"]http://www.crutchfield.com/cgi-bin/S-Po461aXQ7RR/ProdView.asp?s=0&c=3&g=130&I=158XMD1000&o=m&a=0&cc=01&avf=N[/URL] 500 watts RMS x 1 at 4 ohms 900 watts RMS x 1 at 2 ohms 1600 watts peak power And then I was thinking of getting 2 of these subs.. [URL="http://www.crutchfield.com/cgi-bin/S-Po461aXQ7RR/ProdView.asp?s=0&c=10&g=520&I=158L121P5&o=m&a=0&cc=01&avf=N"]http://www.crutchfield.com/cgi-bin/S-Po461aXQ7RR/ProdView.asp?s=0&c=10&g=520&I=158L121P5&o=m&a=0&cc=01&avf=N[/URL] power range 90-350 watts RMS peak power handling 1200 watts Honestly, I have no idea if that stuff will even work together. I know mono is only one channel, but I figured it may be able to power two subs, I don't know.. and do the power ratings match up okay? The ohmage? Thanks.. any info would really be appreciated. Also.. out of curiosity.. would these sound decent, or does Xplod ****? lol. [/QUOTE]
