If you're going to run speakers that are rated for 80watts rms, then you'll definitely need an amp to push them! I would run something more like 50-60watts rms and get a small amp to push them. You'll save money that way and still have a killer sounding system. As for a sub/subs. I prefer RE-Audio. My next choice is Kicker. I would run 10" Kicker CVR's. They have a great sound and in the back of a Camaro they'll sound like two 1500watt 12's. Camaro's were absolutely the best cars for producing bass. With that being said, DO NOT go with a 1000watt rms sub. You will be displeased with how obnoxiously loud it is. Something along the lines of 400watts rms will be plenty to set off car alarms lol. Like I said, I would go with two Kicker CVR 10's backed up by a Kenwood 1800watt amp. That will give you 450 true watts to each sub and you can turn the gain down on the amp to make it about 380-400 true watts going to the subs. They'll be able to take the full beating of 450 though. I've done in numerous times installing systems. You could still use that amp if you wanted to run only one sub too! (difference in 4ohms and 2ohms) depending on how you wire it. I assume you were looking at one 10" so you can stuff it in the side compartment of the well so you still have the storage room. Anyways, any other questions, lemme know. I've been installing car audio and selling it for 3 years now. I'm pretty savvy in that area lol.

The first thing you need to establish is a budget. Once you do that, you need to decide what types of music you'll be listening to most. Are you wanting to beat the death out of your car with sound pressure? Or do you want to have amazing sound quality? Or do you want a little bit of both. Hit me back with all that and I'll be able to help!
