[QUOTE="keep_hope_alive, post: 7421600, member: 576029"] you're fine. ignore the negative comments. i've ran 4 channel amps to a set of speakers and a sub many times with success. $300 is a bit low and you won't get the power you want. figure the cheapest sub you'll find worth buying is $70 or so (but it'll be a couple hundred watts RMS). and the cheapest amp you'll want to get will be $150-200. add $60 in wiring and you're there. just greatly lower your expectations and you can get something that will still sound much better than factory. check the classifieds and your money will go much further. you'll get gear worth 3x what you'll pay for them used. hell, i'm selling used Kenwood gear including amps and subs that would easily fit your budget (but require a LOC). so are many others. start by setting a goal for minimum features (high level inputs, adjustable crossovers on each channel, etc.). then go through classifieds here and on DIYMA. Kenwood, Alpine, Pioneer, Powerbass, Kicker, Phoenix Gold, all have entry level gear that is decent.
