[QUOTE="duginnz, post: 98676, member: 540638"] there are 2 ways to learn. 1 is to buy heaps of crap, make lots of mistakes, blow things up and find out how to spend heaps of time and money to create crap sounds. 2 is to ask lots of questions, some of which may sound really stupid. i went mainly down track 1. wish i'd gone down track 2. read and listen to everything and everyone. believe almost everything you see and only half of what you hear. ask if you dont know, even if it does seem like a really dumb question. if people say you ask dumb questions and give you crap, just move on and find people that are happy to help, there are lots of us out there. finally, pick equipment for quality, not price. if its really cheap, its probably crap or its hot, and you dont want it. think about want you want to end up with, and keep working towards it, however slow that may be. i under stand you have a head unit, and a sub or two so far, you need a 2 channel (at least) amp to run the sub, and that will need a cable kit that includes power cable, a fuse and holder, rca or signal cable (rca means radiola corp of america - todays useless info), a ground cable, which can be a piece of power cable if need be, a remote wire and a length of mildly thick speaker wire to hook the sub to the amp. if you already have both subs, try one at a time and listen to the difference on various cds to see what sound you prefer. i dont htink that both will look or sound good, but at the end of the day, it's your system and your ride. and get a good alarm or a f ing big dog. feel free to email me at any time, any question.
