Will I have any problems?

[Grandpops]

Alright, I'm probably gonna sound like a retard, but it's alright.

About a year ago I bought two 12" punch rockford fosgate subs (150 watt each) with a 300 watt amp.

I had it profesionally installed because I didn't know anything about audio systems (I still don't) and they didn't even last me a year before they blew.

But now I'm addicted because my audio system sounds like crap without any bass.

So I'm wondering... Can I hook a 10" 1100 watt Sony Xplode sub to my 300 watt amp or are they not compatible? I'll probably have to tweak my amp settings to match my new sub, right?

I had it hooked up to my factory head set... will I have to do anything with that? Like can I still use the same wire and do I have to tweak any settings on the head unit or no?

I tried looking into it before asking this, but I didn't really find a solution to my problem and sounding like an idiot was just easier.

Also, I heard that if your amp is 3 to 4 times less powerful than your sub(s), you have a less likely chance of ****ing it up, right? Is this true or should I buy a 1100 watt amp to match the 1100 watt sub?

depends on the the amp if its bridgable,mono 2 chan. a model number would help, chances are your 1100watt sony is only like a 200 or 300 watt sub anyways, you can not go off of what the peak wattage is cause most speakers along the "best buy" lines are not true. you need to give just a hair of more info boss. and I'm sure you'll get some help.

Yeah, I know I shouldn't really go by the peak wattage.

did you like your first set up? becasue you can always buy a different sub w/ the same rating or something like that

Please dont buy sony xplod. They have proven many times that they live up to ther name. How much would you be willing to spend if you were to get a new amp and sub(s)?
