really new to audio

look under amplifiers, then 2 channel. filter it for price:low to high. then page 5. 3rd one down. its a hitron. the power ratings on that are what you want. i wouldnt get that exact amp though.

ok then what amp would u recommend i want one that can power it and would last and budget is 300-350

is that the budget for just the amp for everything?(amp,subs,enclosure,wiring)

i was hoping for subs and amp but idk you guys would now alot more about audio then i would lol

what subs do you guys recommend i listen to mainly rock and metal

or can anyone build me a setup and would i need a capacitor

caps for the most part are useless. you should really just get a new alt and battery. but as for your budget. i think you could make everything that you want to work for like 400-450. to save some money you could do a prefab sealed box( sealed is better for rock anyways). and you could look around for used amps.

that hitron is grossly overated..a hifonics txi6010 puts out 600rms at 2ohms, and is a better option then the hitron. I believe that is about 115-130$ range

its good for your budget...if your lookin at 2channel amps, it is adequate. great? no. better than Hitron? certainly

yea true i should no get the best for your buck thing... i built my computer on a budget
i just found type Rs with dual 2ohms would it be better to get 2 of these (same price as the 4omhs) and would taht mean it would be cheaper for the amp?

i was wondering if this would be a good setup.2 type R 10' alpines

powered by a Hitron HPA1200.2

1200W Max, Pro Series 2-Channel Amplifier with Remote Level Control

suggestions are welcome also any recommendations on a box

i drive a 2000 pontiac grand am GT so its going into my trunk

you want mainly sound quality, output or both

and is $350 just for amp?

not necessarily. If you get dual 2's, you need an amp that is either .5 stable (out of ur price range) or 2ohm stable. The 2ohm looks nice except that most 2 channels are not 2ohm stable. Meaning you likely need a mono, which means you are paying for something 1ohm stable, but you only use it at 2. (again, not cost efficent..altho they do make 2ohm mono amps) Dual 4s, give you either a 1ohm load (optimizing your amp if u get a mono) or 4ohm load (meaning you can go 2channel)..For instance, the amp I suggested will give you 600x1 at this load, 300rms each
