Chad Lee Diamond Member Username: Bestmankind Post Number: 23860 Registered: Oct-05	Posted on Friday, June 29, 2012 - 15:08 GMT LOL Rovin. 2 channel amp bridged is perfect. My factory door speakers actually sound pretty good with my new headunit. I'm just missing some bass. The bass from the speakers don't cut it. LOL. I'll post pics of the setup and progress when the sub and amp gets here.

Chad Lee Diamond Member Username: Bestmankind Post Number: 23862 Registered: Oct-05	Posted on Saturday, June 30, 2012 - 15:28 GMT LOL. 10 GA it is. i'm gonna be doing something I haven't done in over 5-6 years. I'm gonna be building a small sealed box for the 8" sub I just bought. LOL. It's gonna be fun.
