[QUOTE="HardofWhoring, post: 8626742, member: 674149"] If you are not running an amp to any other speakers, and only the subs then yes. It is saying 50w minimum if you are running speakers off the head unit through the factory speaker wires. If you are running 4 subs off an amp, I'm pretty sure you are going to want to put some juice to the rest of the system. Your head unit should have probably 2 or 3 sets of rca ouputs (4 or 6 channel). You most likely want to get an amp for your non-sub speakers. Connect a second amp with RCA cables through the front channel, unless you really plan on only adding subs. Your factory speakers will sound better getting 50w per channel (which is almost guaranteed an improvement from what ever your factory setup is). I just cant imagine in any way that if you add 4 subs, it wouldn't completely drown out 4 factory speakers running off 50w. The big 3, yes, do it. It will "open up"/help your entire electrical system. [/QUOTE]
