        Alright... here we go again...

        What do you want this system to do?

        I noticed your deck has one pair of pre-outs, and you have a crappy RF amp... yet no amp for your fronts. If you're going for cheap sounding, obnoxious boom that neither sounds good, nor would stand a chance in a competition... you got it figured out.

            Crutchfield... = overpriced, but have good diagrams and stuff.

            Fosgate = Excellence in mediocrity.

                  **COUGH**ZAPCO**COUGH**

                  It takes a third of the wattage when you are running a good quality amp. :)

                    First off zapco is way 2 overpriced.

                    List all specs leroy and ill tell u if its compatiable.

                    Make sure you have at least 200 watts leyway for the amp and the sub. Also thats probably 1500 bridged.

                    Make sure the ohms are matched, if your using a sub with 1 ohm than the amp must be that, sub with 2 ohms than the amp must be 2 ohms, etc. etc. etc. because if you dont you will blow out fuses 24/7.

                    I would go look for the specs but im too lazy.

                    Go here: www.sounddomain.com and get em.
