[QUOTE="actionyakson, post: 8310696, member: 662921"] So I have some audio equipment lying around that I got for free and I'm wanting to hook something up again in my car that will provide the most umph. I previously had 1 very old generation 12" alpine type R in a single box powered by a really old soundstream reference class A 5.0 amp that I think is rated around 400w. I had this speaker in the back seat of my honda prelude right behind the drivers seat but removed it because it really didn't have the power I wanted. I now also have been given 2 12" pioneer subs along with a 400w kenwood amp. What setup would give me the cleanest, hardest bass? I was thinking the 2 amps hooked up to the alpine type R, but I could really use some experienced advice! I'm a noob and don't really fully understand the wiring concepts like parallel or bridged. So please forward me any info on where to look for wiring diagrams or anything else you think may help. Also do you think it would be best to put the single in the trunk vs the back seat? I was thinking I'd feel it more pushed up against the drivers seat and not have to worry about trunk rattle. Thanks for reading, please let me know what you think! [/QUOTE]
