Im new to car audio and was wondering what amps are for? Is it show, or something? I've noticed they are shiney and detailed looking.

To amplify the signal to the speaker, which increases the amount the speaker cone moves back and forth, which increases the volume of the signal ...
Simplest explanation ...

Read the link in Frosty's post for more in-depth info on this and many other car audio-related topics ...

James meant the amplitude of the cone movement, not the frequency if that's what the eyebrow is for //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

why? does the xplod make you jealous?

If you amplify the signal (increase the voltage and current of the signal), how do you figure the cone won't travel further ?
This is, of course, assuming that there's not enough power compression to render the voltage increase useless and, of course, it's not exceeding mechanical limits

i was thinkin more of like a comp set, my comp set is reaching max excursion off h/u power when i want them to. sorry, i understand what you meant but just misunderstood that single phrase i suppose.
