[QUOTE="trumpet, post: 8542767, member: 628688"] If you keep in mind it takes 10 amps of current to make 100 watts that will suit you well when planning how much power your vehicle can realistically support, especially when it's all to power subwoofers. Another helpful note: Doubling your power can get very expensive, very quickly, with not as much of a payoff in additional loudness as you might think. In theory, doubling power equals +3 dB. That's basically like turning up the volume a couple of clicks or digits. There's absolutely nothing wrong with being thrifty in your spending, but the bass situation you proposed has potential to ramp up the $$$ in a hurry to do it right. [/QUOTE]
