    if he's working with 500 bucks then an alt upgrade is out of the question.

    haha, my bad the first link for the subs is right. The amp runs 2 channels 300 watts each at 2 ohms, so you would need two 4 ohm dual voice coil subs and run each sub at 2 ohms on each channel. Someone correct me if i'm wrong, i always get confused on this lol.

    I always thought that to get a 3 db increase you had to double the amp power.

    ok read the very bottom line
    dB drag racing - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.


    The current loudest car has been recorded at 180.5 dB.[citation needed] For comparison:
    400dB -- Volcanic eruption
    200dB -- Rocket engine at 30 m
    183dB -- Blue whale humming at 1 m
    163dB -- Windows break
    150dB -- Jet engine at 30 m
    130dB -- Threshold of pain; train horn at 10 m
    120dB -- Rock concert
    The perceived loudness doubles with every 3dB increase, so 178.9 dB is about 50 times as loud as a rock concert (nearly 26 = 64), and nearly 8 times as loud as a jet engine at 30 m.[1]

    so a 10 db increase is 3 times as loud.
