Amp ques.

I just bought Taxvictim's I30t, he had changed the headunit from the stock Bose (CD err message) he put in a Kenwood MP4028, it produce good highs and mids but there is no punch like the Bose system, I just bought 2 10" Power acoustik's at a throw price from Cardomain($20 a piece!) my ques. is what should I be looking for a 2 channel or a Mono amp its a 300W RMS with a Peak of 700W I was thinking 2 channel but I just want to make sure. Im looking at the bargain stuff on Cardomain, if somebody could point me in the right direction I would appreciate it im a str8 n00b once it comes to amps and connections and stuff.

Since those are 4Ohm DVC subs, you'll need to look at power ratings at 4ohm or 1ohm. Get a class D mono amp that does at least 400w at 1ohm. That should work pretty well.

Oh yeah, use coupon code "MCHAMMER" at cardomain checkout and get $20 off any purchase over $200, AND get free shipping. Saved me a bunch when I ordered stuff last week.

PAC AOEM-NIS2. Plugs into Bose headunit, provides a remote wire and 2 sets of RCA's.

I just sold one last week for $35 shipped, so they aren't too pricey. Really easy to use.

Walmart does carry the Scosche LOC. It's blue, and I think it's about $16.

Buy ^^^ his JL amp, then get the rest of the stuff you need from cardomain.
