750 watts might be plenty then. But if you dont think so, you could always take the amp back for a more powerful one.

ya ill think about it. it all depends on how much money i make this summer. also what other stuff do i need to hook up the amp to the subs i am going to need wires and every thing else since i dont have any right now.

Yea, your gonna need an amp power kit. And id use 8 or 12 guage speaker wire, i use 8. but there really wont be much of a difference between 8 or 12. Since you wont be going that far with your wire, 12 should do fine, and its cheaper. I found mine in the garage, so it was free lol.
As for the amp power kit, id suggest one that has 1 or 2 guage power wire with at least 100A fuse.

The first amp kit on there should be fine.
And as for headunits, mines a JVC and i love it but it has a low output voltage (2v)
Pioneer makes awsome headunits, as well as Alpine. Id recommend any of those companies.

what does the output voltage do?
and that first amp kit will that handle 2000 watts or so cause thats what i plan on putting in there eventually.

The first amp kit will be enough.
The output voltage on headunits gives more input power to your amps, causes less distortion and overall more power.
The higher output voltage on your headunit, the better the sound and your amps will be able to reach full potential.
The highest iv seen is 6v.
Dude, I hope you didnt buy anything from the first two pages all I have seen is crap crap and more crap.. I have been into car-audio for 2 years and get all info from www.caraudioforum.com
If you want a good entry sub then go with Alpine Type R 10 or 12 inch
depending on how many subs you want 1 or 2 with one you want a 1042 with 2 you want a 1242. (so you can get 1ohm out of them)
as for Amps you will probably need between 600 (for one and 1200 for two)
And for front speakers of your car you want to get component speakers. Go with Phoenix Gold Z6.5 they are cheap and good. You will want a 250-350 2.ch amp for them
If you want more in depth info give me a PM and go to that website I suggest I post there a lot..

Sorry for 3 posts
But for an amp you are going to want a Phoenix Gold Titanium or Xenon AMP/ Hifonics is good but people have problems here and there with them/ JL Audio amps/ Alpine Amps and some Kicker amps..
I own a Phoenix Gold Xenon 600 and I get 600 1-4 ohms.. I have them running on two alpine type s speakers 300watts RMS each. I should have a bigger amp for them but... Before the alpines i had MTX 6000 subs which were 250 RMS each...
I dont feel like spending more money on an amp but since your starting always go a little more on the amp with what your subs are rated...

Car Audio Forum? Ha, figures. I wouldnt trust that place worth anything. Id trust my local best buy guy before them. (i used to be a member of that forum)
A lot of people on there are very knowladgeable about car audio I would not bash them as they have helped me understand about car audio.
If you do think a Sony XPLOAD amp is better then any
Hifonics/Alpine/ Some PG amps and some others
then I think you have trusted your best buy car audio installer too much....

I never saw the words "Sony" in this thread until you came along lol.
Oh, thats right, i did show off my first system, which did contain a Sony. But i dont remember anyone here suggesting them.
As for pheonix gold, they arnt that well known in car audio.....iv never used their products, but i would def pick Alpine, Hifonics, JL, JBL, and alot of other brands before them.
