Depends on what the amp will be powering as to how powerful you need. If it seems too cheap to be good, it probably is. Do you have a budget in mind for sub-amp-wiring ?

champion pioneers are the best out there. But I would go with jL audio. If you want cheap good ones go with sony explode. Good beginner subs. For speakers you want to go with kicker. Beautiful quality a little pricier but lot better.

for amps. For a good amout of bass go with 1200 watts. You can find good ones on eBay the brands I just name all make amps. But Memphis is good at making small powerful amps.

No xplodes. Kicker speakers are good on amp. Jl anything is good, Memphis is also good. Peak power is simply a made up number to get noobs to buy. RMS power is all you have to look at.

yes. Lol I remember the first time I looked at speakers I was all about peak. You learn quickly.

And. Explodes are still good without paying a lot of money. I have some. And I love them. And I am a audiophile.

I have alpine double din and alpine subs and amps. I have the mrv250 and mrv500. Have type R 8 and type S 12. I love both. Alpine makes some great subs. I would never get any other brand of 8 besides a sundown.

It was a toss up between Rockfords and kickers. I have dash speakers and I heard kicker are more reliable when in contact with the sun all the time. But the sound is the same.
