[QUOTE="mr.gaf, post: 7983256, member: 644848"] Main things you wanna look at when getting amp and speakers/subs are Amps: rms output wattage: this is the power rating the amp receives for a particular ohm load which means if an amp is rated for a 1000 watts @ 1 ohm, then if the speakers are correctly wired the amp will consistently output 1000 watts. Fuses: I don't know too much about them really, ask @mylows10 or someone Brand: the amp will be one if the most expensive parts in your setup, if you get a nice one from the start you're set, like a common good brand would be Kicker 1000.1 rockford, Lanzar Optidrive, any other amps that are way better you can contact vendors on the site. Wiring: make sure your vehicle can supply enough power, anything above 1200 watts rms will usually require a bigger alt or additional battery, big three upgradw will also help a lot with that. Speaker: rms, make sure your sub(s) can handle the power of the amp, amp outputs 1000 rms, you need two subs rated at least at 500 watts rms IGNORE PEAK for speakers and amps, crap speakers like Sony xplods are rated at 300 watts and peak 1200, really neans nothing, you want an amp that will output the total rms wattage demand of your speaker(s) Box: don't get a prefab, contact someone like @double_07 for a nice box, the box is very important. I was clearly too bored...any further questions, ask. [/QUOTE]
