haha hell yeah man
those type R's?
and yeah dude I like your setup. other than all those fugly wires hanging out xD

so will the power supply come with all the right cables I'll need to connect it to the amp? or will I need to buy any additional stuff?
and then how would I connect my computer/ipod to it?  I would need some kind of a receiver right?


You can use a dual rca in to aux out converter they are like 3 dollars at radioshack,the power supply would come with everything you need to power your amp. So after that just amp and subs

:O
good point! I believe I have a pair lying around the house somewhere too O_O

so just to get things straight:
power up the amp with the psu
RCA from amp to the 3 dollar radioshack splitter thingy
and then a 4 awg wire from sub to amp

oh aight good to know man
yeah bro I just think subwoofer + comp speakers is the way to go honestly

all the towers I've looked at are like 200-150 watt rms. and that's with the speakers and the sub calculated together -_-

personaly i'm using 2x 8" subs, 250 watts rms each, which great for inside my house.

or my second setup which is one dual channel 900 watt rms 15" sub lol, which is too loud for a house. (broke my gf's vases once)

All powered by a computer power supply, if you're gonna go that rout id highly suggest a cap, they elp so much. Before the cap my amp would dim when the bass hit hard, and the cap fixed that pretty good. You can also mod the sensor wires and put small resistors on them and make the psu push out like 14 volts lol.
