I reinstalled all my speakers and added four more. because all mine blown out, because they were like crappy speakers.

They are Sony Xplod. Then I was like I want a big sub woofer. So I went and bought one. I think its called Super Q's. They are like 10 or 12in. We hooked it up in the store. It sounded really nice. It had the bump bump bump.


Well we put it in my car and it has less bump. I think it sounded better in the store because he had like a home theater system. But if I wanted more bump. Would I have to purchase a amplifier?

im not sure what my power, and watts are. but i know there in the 3 digits and 4 digits.


I'm kinda new in the speakers/sub woofer/amplifier area.

thanks for your help, sorry if i was like newbish sounding or what ever

My boyfriend has two Xplod (10 inch) and a 1,000 watt amp and it bumps pretty hard.
He turned some knobs up on the amp to make it sound better.

I'd go with at least 1,00o if you want a good bump.
It won't hurt your speakers.
300 ain't really nothing.

Just go somewhere that does systems and talk to them. They'll let you know what's best for you.
It all depends on how hard and how often you'll be bumpin.

He's lame. Always try to buy from someone with some type of warranty. Speakers ain't cheap, as you know.

Yea, it's always good to have connections :]
You might also want to get an on/off switch. You can get one for about $2-3 at Wal-mart and they come in handy if you ever just feel like listening to the music without the bump or if you're driving somewhere that you can't have it on. Just turning down the bass on the radio usually doesn't quiet it completely.
