Time to upgrade? Any tips?

Hooking two 10" 1100w Sony Xplode subwoofers in my 1999 Ford F-150; powered by an !omgwtf! 450w Lightning Audio Amplifier.

Yeah, fun stuff. I need a new amplifier; sorta kinda on a budget between 0-$250.

Any tips?

Funny how a $25 Visonik "10 subwoofer(Don't honestly know the specs) + 1100w Sony Xplode "10 with the 450w(max) Amplifier thumps harder then 2x 1100w Sony Xplode "10 with the 450w(max) amplifier, hopefully because of power bottlenecking because Im going to be supa pissed if a $25 subwoofer thumps harder then a $60 subwoofer.

And don't make fun of my rather cheap choices of subwoofers... //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif

Ofcourse could the enclosures make a huge difference?

Don't all answer at once.

Doing some research.....

Are Sony Xplodes really that bad?

You're looking at 300w RMS/1100w peak for 59.99.

I think they will hold up pretty well till I upgrade them. I just need an amplifier that would be able to pull them well enough as well as any upgraded 10"'s or bigger.

ive made cheap, crappy subs sound acceptable, or good.

its all in the the box theyre in and the install

Well I have the 1100w(300w rms) subs in this case(1 sub per case).

Linkage

Pretty much the only enclosure that will fit in a 2DR 1999 Ford F-150. I will need a better amplifier and hopefully one that can pull the two Sony Xplodes and whatever other additions that will be made.

Because after doing some research, not many people are fans of sony xplodes.....
