Noob questions

Hi I have a 2000 sonoma extended cab. I just bought a A2002v Audiobahn amp, and 3 MTX thunder 4500s in a box. Is this a decent setup? Would I need to buy a bigger amp? I am a complete noob to car audio, so any feedback is helpfull.

not bad for a first set up... experiment with it you sq isnt gonna be full potential, but if loudness is what your shooting for 3 subs in a sonoma will accomplish it

That's a half truth. His amplifier will not power the MTX subwoofers properly. Not even close. And even if he happens to buy an amplifier that will power the subs, they have limited potential.
