[QUOTE="Krooger, post: 6053671, member: 611745"] Hello, Im new to car audio and I'm trying to learn what I need to do to upgrade my system but it's quite a bit more confusing that I had hoped. My current problem is Amp and Sub compatability. I don't want to bother you guys with wiring questions, I have found diagrams on that so I think im ok but I am confused about matching Watts and Ohms. Is the following correct? You want the RMS Watts of your Amp to roughly add up to the sum of the RMS of your subs, so if my Amp was 300W I could have 2X 150W subs? And for ohms, you can have any ohms for amp and subs but you must follow the appropriate wiring diagram. I know this may shock you but the sales guys at the store didn't know anything... "uh yea, it should be fine" isn't a reassuring answer. Thank you for your help! [/QUOTE]
