I would like to istall some 10" subs in my porsche 944, But I dont have a whole lot of cash. Is pyle a good company to get audio equipment from, because I found some 10'' subs with 800w max power 400w rms for $40.00 each.

If I did get subs with that power what size amp should I get???

Stay away from Pyle.

If you want something under $100, do a search on ebay for Pioneer IMPP subs, they are very nice for the price. For an amp, look into the JBL 300.1 from http://www.ikesound.com

I would staw away from Legacy as well- Legacy, Pyle, Pyramid, etc are all crappy brands...

Thanks for your opinion, but how should the size of the amp compare to the total watts that the sub can handle???

Well, getting an amp that is around the area of the RMS is always good- but make sure the impedances match up- example- Say you buy 2 DVC 4 ohm woofers, which are 500 rms, and can be wired to a 1 or 4 ohm load- you don't want an amp that does it's full power, lets say 1000 watts, at 2 ohms- and isn't stable at 1 ohm- it just doesn't match up.

what are ohms? I'm sorry for asking these questions, but This is new to me and i don't want to regret what I get.

Jmac wouldn't he want a dual4ohm version of that sub to run it off the 2080?
