Very new to car audio need help,

alright here is what i have

Pioneer TS-W3002D4 12 In. Champion Series PRO Subwoofer with 3500 Watts

Atrend E12Sv B Box Series 12-Inch Single Vented Subwoofer Enclosure

so what i am needing to go with this is a amp that can handle this subwoofer (like i said im new to car audio so i don't know what kind of amp i will need for something like this)

i have also heard that it would be good to have a capacitor if i could get a recommendation on that to that would be greatly appreciated

Thanks hope i can get some help.

that sub wont run at 3500watts, it'll run up to 1000watts which is the rms rating, you'll need an amp stable to 2 ohms as it's dual 4 ohm voice coil.

Do NOT get a capacitor.

look at a mb quartz 1500 or a audiopipe ap 1500 thats pretty much all you'll get on that budget ,if you up your budget a bit ,you'll get a better amp that will last longer and have a better efficiency for your sub

No cap...research a BIG 3 upgrade for your electrical (alt/batt/ground wiring)

dump the wal-mart box and do some research on your sub to find a more suitable, durable enclosure...or have someone here design one, if you are ok with hand tools...or even build one for you

Class AB amp that big may be a little much for stock electrical.... killer deal though.

Plenty of ppl have good luck with these. On par with Quart, Audiopipe, etc.
