i have no clue what you mean when u say that,

but the amp that i bought is a hifonics bxi2010D

The BXI 2010D is rated for 2,000 watts rms @ 1 ohm. It may do that if you have decent electrical, but I have my doubts. I'm going out on a limb and assuming that you do NOT have any electrical upgrades. Would that assumption be correct?

If you don't have a decent electrical system in your vehicle, you'll need to buy a nice battery and tackle the big 3 upgrade before you worry about buying subwoofers or installing your amplifier.

Car audio is not a cheap hobby...

are you taking about a amp wire up kit?

i havent ordered the subs yet or the amp wire kir also didnt order the line out converter yet either. Getting my amp tuesday night

What misfit means, is have you upgraded your alternator to a higher amperage, or have you upgraded all the wiring under the hood from tiny stock wires to 0 gauge?

i would go with a DC lvl 4xl it will MURDER the L5s and 2000rms will be fine

This. Or bump up to the level 5. Just a thought. But OP, before you go and fuck shit up, read and educate yourself on here. I was in the same boat as you back in June, but now I know more than enough to get by on. It takes time and money to like car audio.

What he said. Educate yourself before you waste money read around get more info and the do something dont try building real quick because in about 3 month you wont be happy with it anymore. You have a budget your working with?

To put it in newbie terms: You cant' run that amplifier in your car unless you buy a new alternator or larger battery, and rewire some of the wiring in your car with bigger wire.

It uses too much power that your stock car cannot generate. If you try to use it, you are going to blow something up.

It sounds like you have no idea what you're doing, so once you do get the necessary electrical upgrades you need to go read the guide on how to correctly set your gains, or else again you're going to blow something up.

And as for subs, look for something else, there are much better options around here. I'd go for two AQ sd2.5's or something along those lines.

yes my buget is not a dime over 280ish for 2 12inch 4ohm subs.

and about 45$ for amp wire kit

and around 100$ for line out converter
