Do you recognize a Sundown zv4 as your Lord and savior? Have you ever owned an incriminator audio 20.1? Have you ever installed a big 3 upgrade/HO alternator/2 or more batteries in someone's car? Did you know DC audio subs sound like shyt?

@edzyy So I ended up buying http://www.ebay.com/itm/131424825996 & I got it hooked up to a planet audio ac1500.1m & my shyt ain't hitting that hard. I thought it was the sub so I hooked up to my 1 of my homies amp and this lil 10 was beating .

I thought when matching a sub and amp you have to look at the rms. The rms on the sub is 400w & rms on the amp is 700w 4ohm or 1100w 2ohm. shyt is confusing



I think I need a bigger amp. Any suggestions?

@originalblackmanfromughh Can you help me out breh?

 

[edzyy]

You bought a trashy amp that doesn't do anywhere near what it says it does. Get rid of it and start over.

 

[originalblackmanfromughh]

Yeah man. Planet audio has been garbage for years. Grab this amp. It will drive it fine at 4 ohms

Precision Power PPI P600.2

Just remove neg terminal on battery and remove pa amp and install this one, reconnect batt and set up the gain to match.

What kind of radio do you have? If you have a cheap/stock radio that doesn't have a subwoofer out, shyt will always sound garbage.

I bought this budget brand Headunit for $200 a few weeks ago . It does everything though, reviews were solid, and I didn't want to pay $600-$800 for a pioneer or kenwood right now.

My system sounds nice though, I've bought most of my components like 15 years ago and they're still going strong.
I spent a grip at the time, but quality lasts.

For all these new model cars that dont have the old box cut out style radio, the new ones built into the dash.

What kind of options do you have for adding amps and subs?
