Help me choose an amp?

for your lowish budget: http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_43128_Hifonics-GLX1000.1D.html

make sure you find out your decks max undistorted volume and set your gains correctly with a dd1

i see that youre located in LA. there is a Al and Ed's in marina del ray (venice) that can dd1 your system for free. (after you get your amp installed, go there and they will find out your max volume and set your gains correctly)

even with an aftermarket headunit?

Ur right I wasn't thinkin that bridging a 2 channel would almost have 2 b run @ 4ohms. My bad

New suggestion, return those 12s n get 2 sundown E8v3s. They run around $90 ea they will hit just as hard if not harder then the pioneer 12s + it would take up less space. N when ppl ask u what u have they will $hit a brick when u pop the trunk n show them a pair of 8s

do you mean Sundown Audio E8v2? I cant seem to find the others...Im thinking of returning these or selling to the next door nieghbor ...sorry im on a budget im still i highschool..been researching alot and seem like returning is best option and running sundowns.so i would need a amp with 400 watt rms at 2 ohm if i run these ?or are these dual voice?

Just install the Pioneer. They may be inexpensive but they will sound fine. Can you get subs/amp that will be louder, probably, but they will not be much louder on a small budget. The Sundown are very nice, but the E8 is not going to be nearly as loud as the subs you have (that was more bad advice by AKingKhan). Save the $100 and improve something else. Headunit, amp watts, component speakers, etc.

good advice what should i upgrade if i have a good headunit?

Depends. What all equipment do you have now and what is your goal for sound? Do you listen to it as loud as you can most the time or do you listen mostly at moderate levels?

For headunit i have a (JVC KW-AV60BT).
For subs i have the pioneers listed on first post.
No amp currently =/
I Noticed that sometimes when bass hits with new hu the lights in cluster dim, is that normal?
I was thinking selling subs and getting the sundowns to have more trunk space on my coupe.lol

yea, they set up my kenwood and my max volume is 25, but its different for every car.

If you want to have smaller subs so they take up less space then you can still do it on a budget. 2 of these in a 0.6 cu ft box with polyfill: http://www.amazon.com/JBL-GTO804-Reduced-8-Inch-Subwoofer/dp/B000FHAXPA

As for what to upgrade, a component set and an amp for them is the way to go. Something like this: http://www.ebay.com/itm/JBL-GTO608C...010084890?pt=Car_Speakers&hash=item416d819c1a

A multi-channel amp like this would work for everything: http://www.amazon.com/Soundstream-R...55697641&sr=1-13&keywords=5-channel+amplifier

This is just to give you ideas. Do some searching and reading and see what you think will work for you.
