I didn't know anything about car audio until a month ago. Thinking of doing an all Kenwood setup now, already ordered the stereo(the MP342U one) and looking to get two of the w3011 subs, but I don't know if I want the amp I'm thinking of. Here are the specs for the subs. * 12" subwoofer with 4-ohm voice coil * stainless steel-coated polypropylene cone with rubber surround * power range: 50-400 watts RMS (1,200 watts peak power) * frequency response: 25-800 Hz * sensitivity: 90 dB * mounting depth: 6-3/4" * sealed box volume: 0.8 - 1.75 cu. ft. * ported box volume: 1.0 - 2.0 cu. ft. There is this one amp that was being sold with two of the w3011s as a package deal, but will it get the best performance out of my subs? http://www.amazon.com/Kenwood-KAC-7...?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1261969674&sr=1-15 I think there are two versions of it. Any suggestions are welcome.
The above setup, including the CD player, subs, amp, kits and installation fees, it's gonna be about $450 total, that's about what I can afford without saving up. The amp is only around $110 on ebay, but I can afford to go higher if it makes a big enough difference... I'm already going about $40 higher just to get a ported box. What kind of kit do I need for installing the subs and amp? Already ran the RCA with the other wire coming off it.
