its an 04 tahoe LT so it has the nice stero and bose speakers so the amp's are solely for the subs, and a new deck is next in line as well as a custom box but i want to get it pounding and first, and any reason why you would say no to a cap?

hahaha i dont need an amp? but, would the kickers be the way to go then, that's what im leaning towards, and i have gotten other professional advice saying that would be too, i forgot to mention the kenwood is 2 channel, if that changes your decisions

And apparently, quality speakers to play 90% of the spectrum, from what I've learned from this forum lately //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif
