Ok so i dont know that much about stereos or amps or any of that. With that being said, i want my car to have a little more bass. I have an 07 Aura. the stock system is loud but i want bump. I dont want to have to spend a ton of money seeing as im in college. i just need suggestions on what to get to make it have more bass. any information would be helpful.

Re: Audio....
your best bet is to go and listen to some. i've been having great luck with my elemental designs e5.12 powered by an elemental designs NINe.1. Another good choice would be JL Audio W3 powered by a Hifonics HFi1000D. best thing to do though is just go listen to a bunch of subs and choose the one you like best

Re: Audio....
you just have to learn to set your gains properly. Made a mistake. This is actually the W3 you'd want. Clicky. The amp will only be putting out 750WRms at 2 ohms, which is still more than enough to blow it if you continuously run it at that. But if you set your gains properly you wont over power it.

Re: Audio....
yea so as long as there isnt a huge audible distortion then i should be ok. thanks for the help this really did come in handy. Ill hopefully be picking out my system in the next two months or so. chances are it will be what you suggested

Re: Audio....
no problem. the easiest way to set your gains is using the equation Voltage=sqrt(Power x Resistance). So if you were to get the 2ohm w3 and wanted to run it at 500Wrms then it would be Voltage = sqrt(500 x 2). So the AC voltage you would be looking for across the terminals were you hooked the sub up would be 31.6V AC. Of course if you wanted to run less power then you would just decrease 500 in the equation down to the desired power level. Just be sure not to run the sub above its recommended rms value or you risk blowing the sub.
One other thing. if you dont get the system i posted above make sure you get an amplifier that has more power than the sub requires. if you get one with less and try to turn it up too much, you will send a clipped signal to the sub which wont be good. You'll also want to be playing a test tone while you are doing this. If you have anymore questions feel free to ask me
