I plan on buying these http//cgi.ebay.com/TWO-2006-KICKER-S12L7-SUBS-VENTED-SUBWOOFER-BOX-NEW_W0QQitemZ300026839973QQihZ020QQcategoryZ39777QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem but I don't know what kind of amp I'll need to run them. And I don't understand the channel part of amps. So I'm looking for a good amp, and then I need new speakers for my car too so if anyone has any suggestions for either I would appreciate it. Thanks

what car yr/make/model

How much u wanna spend?

do you have a stock head unit. No? what kind of head unit.



The subs you bought are really powerful, unless you have some badass speakers, you are really overpowering the rest of your sound w/ bass. Most stock speakers pack about 10-20 W peak each. So yea, basically its all fo' sho.

00 grand am gt and I plan to spend $800-$1000 without the head unit, as that will be my birthday present. I'm going to get a head unit, just haven't picked one out yet.

this may cost you more then 1000$. You are going to need new speakers in your car like amir said. You will need a head unit with 2 4.0v preout. You will need one amp for your subs and one 4 channel amp for your speakers. You need 1 1 awg wire kit and one 4 awg wire kit. You will need a distribution block. you need to upgrade the wire under your hood to 1 awg. You will possibly need a 2nd battery. Capacitors really dont help very much so you will not need one of those.
