[QUOTE="Izso, post: 1064384677, member: 2429"] Aiyo.. suggest you learn up how subs and all work before spending hard earned money on a sub. It doesn't work that way. [URL]http://www.hertzaudiovideo.com/E4B08655-0010-4B07-A807-6E73F79CFF02/FinalDownload/DownloadId-CB8F1A458FF2625241A5A9D7FA965C28/E4B08655-0010-4B07-A807-6E73F79CFF02/doc/hertz_ep4_tech_eng.pdf[/URL] That's the tech details of the amp. If you look at the power ratings, it's rated at 14.4v so that means the power in our cars (Japanese cars rated at 13v give or take) will be lower. Look at the 4 channels, focus on 190w x 1 (4ohm). That's how much power it can deliver as a single channel. Meaning you take 2 channels, bridge them to be a single channel. Why single? Cuz your sub is a single speaker so that's just one channel. Also 4ohms means the sub must be able to run at 4ohms. There are 3 types of subs, single voice coil, double voice coil and active subwoofer.

Don't blindly blow your money on an install without understanding it. And you can do better than the Hertz amp. Your budget seems relatively healthy so shop around and try to find a 4 channel that can do better. [/QUOTE]
