Do you think i would be good with that amp or do you think i would blow my subs? What do you guys think?

Thanks a lot for any help.

take the subs back those subs are no good and you will be very disapointed i dont mean to bash your equipment but im just trying to give you some advice take the subs back and get something better for your money.

and stay away from that amp as well. basically, go look through the FAQ of this forum, specifically at the good, bad, and ugly list. that should give you a good idea at what to look for as far as brands go.

If you were to buy anything from best buy, get the Alpine Type-R's the only subs worth buying there. As for an amp, look on that site for a JBL amp, should be the most bang for your buck. And check the FAQ section, it will help you tons.

well i already have the subs hooked up to an amp. They are only at 120Watt RMS right now each. I dont have all that much money thats why and i got them for really really cheap. But they sound a lot better then you would think, i no there nothing like alpine or any top brands, but they do sound pretty good. Even the audio place that installed them was like its going to be shit, look at the brand etc, but when they were done, they said it sounded a hell of a lot better then they thought.

Whats wrong with that amp? Ive read so many good reviews about that model.

just be careful its real easy to overdrive bandpass setups
