When buying an amp its best and safe to use the 1:1 ratio. That would mean if subs RMS was rated at 350 watts then get a 350 watt amp. Alot of installers will use 3:1 ratio because the subs max rated at 1200 watts so they say you will need a 1200 watt amp. But the truth is that sub may only peak a fraction of a millisecond. So unless your competing for a title championship there is no need to destroy you subs that you paid so much for.

Can you replace subwoofer in 2000 Chevy Tahoe with aftermarket subwoofer?

Your SUV comes with a 8" subwoofer from the factory. Most likely a 4-ohm sub. I know the Kicker Comp VT 8" will bolt right in and you can get them either 2-ohm or 4-ohm. You would probably notice quite a difference putting a 2-ohm in.

What size speakers should you hook up to a Jensen lxa 300 power amp?

kicker 10c124 12" 300W 4-Ohm SVC COMPVT Series Component Car Subwoofer Driver (Comp154) better known as 12inch kicker comp. it doesnt cost that much to be a kicker around $60. you can purches this speaker at onlinecarstereo.com or crutchfield.com. when this amp is bridged its 150rms watts and 300w witch is getting the peak proformace out of it. the ratings of it bridged is also what the speaker calls for. so when its matched together dont be afraid to turn up the settings to the max it will hold trust me. this is the set up i have and it sounds great.

What are good but cheap car subwoofers?

if your looking to buy brand new car subwoofers for a low price that will produce quality sound for your money, the kicker comp is a good choice. they come in all sizes and are great speakers for a low cost. now if you considering cheaper than that, i believe memphis audio is a good alternative, but not as cheap as kickers comp subwoofer. Memphis has been raited number one in price, quality and all around sound. their PR 10s and 12s are $100 to $130 range and audiopipe also produces a great speaker. but before you consider getting a subwoofer, make sure you have an amp that can match the rms of your speaker because you might have a top-of-the-line subwoofer, but an amp that can't push the speaker to its full potential. if you have any questions, you can email me at chasefsflip22@hotmail.com and i'll be glad to help you out.


Which subwoofer can I replace for the 2001 Lexus gs300 is it 4ohm or 8ohm?

its a 6ohm sub in the stock location. if you are going to replace it you will need to purchase a good amp. the stock amp does not have adequate power to power any other sub. 10" Kicker comp subs make a great replacement, and get an amp that is half the RMS power input of the sub. make shure that you are reading the AMPs RMS power output.
