ok, need some assistance

[mr.gaf 10+ year member]

Ok, so I am still kind of getting the hang of Ohms and all of that crap. Anyway, I thought I'd hit you guys up since you likely know your stuff.

Amp details: Boss CX550 Chaos Exxtreme 800 Watts 2-Channel MOSFET Power Amplifier

MAX POWER, 2 OHM 400w x 2; RMS POWER, 4 OHM 125w x 2; MAX BRIDGED POWER, 4 OHM 800w x 1

SIGNAL-TO-NOISE RATIO 102 dB; THD 0.01%

DIMENSIONS: 11-7/8-InchW x 2-5/8-InchH x 12-3/16-InchL

Trimode operation; Bridgeable; Remote subwoofer level control; Line and speaker level inputs; Variable gain control

Power and protection LEDs; Variable lowpass and High pass crossovers; 0-+18dB variable bass boost; MOSFET power supply

Sub details: Kicker CompVR 07CVR102 10-Inch 2-Ohm DVC Subwoofer

10-inch CompVR Subwoofer with 2-ohm impedance

Injection-molded cone with 360-degree back bracing and aluminized coating; ribbed Santoprene surround

400 Watts RMS (800 Watts peak) power handling

25-500 Hz frequency response

One-year limited warranty

So do you think it'll work? If not then could you find some replacements for me please? Thanks in advance. I actually don't think that amp will work, I believe I'll need a 800 watt amp that does 400X2 at 4 ohms right?

oh boy, boss audio, kicker cvr's and referencing peak power figures......this is going to get ugly

 

[mr.gaf 10+ year member]

you're free to give better suggestions as long as the prices are roughly the same as these I posted

 

[THATpurpleKUSH 5,000+ posts]

what is your budget, what kind of car and what are you looking to do with it (loud, sound good etc)

 

[mr.gaf 10+ year member]

I currently have a '99 Durango, and I am looking more for sounding good but still kind of loud at the same time, budget is around 250-300

 

[THATpurpleKUSH 5,000+ posts]

so 300 tops for sub/s and amp?

I just installed a system in a friend's 99 durango about 2 weeks ago, those are pretty easy to work on and you can do alot with them

 

[mr.gaf 10+ year member]

yes 300 for both

something you need to consider is the box. It is more important than the sub or amp.

 

[mr.gaf 10+ year member]

I know it's important, however I must know what sub I want and therefore leading me to find the correct amp to power it before I can know dimensions my box must be.

The only thing you will get it if you rush into this is a expensive

I only see 2 options if you are set on doing it with 300

1. Get on EBay and other sites with used gear. The stuff on here is probably too high end for your budget. But I have seen

2 12 inch kicker's as well as Alpine's in boxes with amps included for 250-300

2. Buy the JL w3 amp which is about a 100 and is the best sub in its price range easily. Also buy the box, do A Lot of research on it because its the most

Important aspect to how good the system will sound. Have some patience and get the amo next paycheck
