Sometimes, it's just better to smile, nod, and know in your own mind that you're farther up the food chain. :)

I mentioned my car's system can put out over 3600 watts RMS, but amusingly by IASCA specs, the car is rated as a "1500 watt" system since their rules measure amplifier power @ 4 ohms stereo. Just one more way power ratings are misleading.

oh yeah? my waffle iron is rated at 1200watts RMS, whats yours?

So, if I was to get 2 amps like these

and 2 subs like these

and bridge them, would this be a good set up? Sorry, I'm so new to this.

Ok...well if you were to run that setup, then you could have an amp for each sub. Generally, somone will use one amp to power one or multiple subwoofers by wiring the subwoofers together.

BUT NOTE: STAY AWAY FROM BOTH SONY AND AUDIOBAHN!!!

Just check out the 'good, bad, and ugly' list in the FAQ section.

... we would kill you. lol, j/k Have you read the "Good, the bad, and the ugly" list in the FAQ section? That will help guide you. Audiobahn amps are overrated by the manufacturer and you pay mostly for chrome. Sony subs... well, Sony car audio just plain sucks.

See this thread for some recommendations on subs: http://www.caraudiocentral.net/forums/s ... .php?t=845

I didn't realize ridr4lif posted before me, anyway, what he said too.

You won't want to buy from Crutchfield. You will end up paying twice as much.

Yea...the bang for the buck thread is a good one. Just dont listen to Spkrman . We had problems with him. And ditto to not ordering from crutchfield. Although the do have excellent customer service, the prices are just so damn high!

I personally shop at http://www.woofersetc.com

Thanx alot everyone. That list is really helpful and it'll make me feel a lot better knowing I picked up some high quality stuff this time around.

If I was to buy some subs from RE where would I go?
