yes and no. less is better but the way you wiring and number of subs also dictates the final ohm load.

so to account for the final ohm load you need to figure out:
number of voice coils
ohm of each voice coil
number of amp channels(1 channel is standard for 2 subs)
how they will be wired

the subs and amp will require no power ratings from your radio except for their pre-amp voltage which isn't something that matters a whole lot depending on how high end the sub/amp are.

how many watts you want isn't a good way to look at it because its hard to get an idea of watt power in regards to how much sound that many watts can produce. just saying that makes me feel like i've completely overcomplicated the process.

that crap gives me aheadache, idk i dont have the mental capacity to care because its too difficult to understand, curse my adhd =[

help me pick a setup for $500? i listen to a ton of hiphop and rap, so ideally strong bass. i have an 09 civic 4 door

ya i can. you prefer to order it all from 1 place?

Not even dude I was there the other day and they had a fold out box. It came all connected and you literally folded it into a box. Aside from the smell of mold, looked like a great deal imo!

/e p31x12 with p500.1

lmfao wtf.

i was gonna go with a AQ sdc2.5 15 and a cadence XAH1200.

only issue is it needs a custom box built and idk if it fits the price range at that point

Yea, thats why I chose the P31x12. Plus this kids an idiot, he'll break whatever he gets within a few months anyways.

this. lolzzzz

yeah dude, talk to this guy Subwoofer. probably more than likely more knowledgeable about this.

if you want something worth your dollar (my opinion, again.. ask Subwoofer)
Kicker CVR's come cheap enough for the power/quality on craigslist. (4ohm or lower)
