If you got 2 @ 300 then you need no more then 600. But that's where you have to be careful. There's amps that are 1000 watts but that's 2 ohms. And it might only be 300 watts at 4 ohms. So you need to make sure you check what your subs are and then find an amp for your subs.

 

^^wow i completely forgot about ohm ratings lol oops, yeah JOEYCASH, what he also said about the ohm ratings lol

 

Thanks to the both of you!
So the higher the RMS the better?

 

You really need to have someone that knows about stereo stuff help you out. Do you have a friend or a stereo shop in town you can go to? There's so much to take into account when building a system, even just subs. If you don't know they you take the chance of buying unneccessary equipment, the wrong equipment and risk frying that equipment. I would suggest going to a stereo shop and paying them to put together a system for you. But if you want to learn, google search.

The higher the RMS does not mean loader or better.

You want to look at the dB rating a speaker has, this is going to tell you how loud the speaker can be at it's max. It will usually look like this "87 dB at 1 watt." Now you can get a $600 speaker that is only capable of hitting 89 dB and takes 1200 watts to get there, or you can get a $200 speaker that is capable of hitting 92 dB and only takes 300 watts to get there. Which one would you go with? Most people don't understand this and stereo shops won't offer this up on their own. Most people think the more watts the better, watts don't mean crap, it's all about the speaker and encloser. There are a ton more things that go with building a system, so think about how into this you really want to go before jumping in. If you just start buying stuff then you can become SOL really quick and have stuff that doesn't work together and be out of money.

 

Thanks. I appreciate that. Ive got a few guys i know that know what they are doing so maybe they can help me out.
