I'm pretty new at car audio. I'm just now getting into it. Right now I'm putting together my first system and I was wondering if you guys could help me out. Right now, I have 2 10" kenwood KFC-W2509 subs:
*700w peak power *350 max power *175 RMS *Freq Responce 28Hz - 800Hz *Impedance 4ohms
I'v been hearing that Kenwood is not the greatest, but hey, it's my first system and I got them both for $120. Anyway I'm confused on how to match up an amp to run both of the subs. What power specs should I look for? Should I get a 2 channel, or a mono amp?
And finally, I listen to a lot of Jazz and Rap, should I get a sealed box, or a ported box? Which one will get me better, and more acurate sound. And what is a bandpass box?
Yet another question.. after I get my subs hooked up, I'm going to get another amp the run the speakers inside my car (and installing some tweeters of course). Asuming that less power is needed to run these speakers, should I pick up a multi channel amp, or a 2 channel amp? Which is better? Also, should I compare my speaker specs to the amp specs, or does it really matter? And is it ok to install an amp with more power than what is needed to run a system?
