New member Username: Oily01Post Number: 2 Registered: Mar-06 | Hi, I'm looking to put 2 pioneer tsw306c 12" subs in my car, each have 1000w peak power, 400w RMS. I was going to run them of an American Legacy LA660 amplifier, which is 1000w peak power. Is American Legacy a good make and Will this system work well? |

Also, always talk about watts in RMS, never in peak. So how much loot are you gonna drop, so we can go to work  |

I don't really know my way around those .co.uk's or the exchange rate for that matter... hmm Are you going for sound quality? Or SPL (loudness)? |

New member Username: Oily01Post Number: 5 Registered: Mar-06 | well then from $300 to $500 it this helps any better. im going for both sound quality and loudness. I listen to alot of rap/hip hop music and also some trance music so i guess this involves both quality and sound. can you recommend anything me |

Silver Member Username: JuliobSanto DomingoDominican Re... Post Number: 273 Registered: Dec-05 | OPTI YOU GOT WRONG IN THAT CUZ HIS SUBS ARE 4 OHM svc SO THEY CAN BE WIRED AT 2 OHM AND THAT AMP WON'T PUSH THEM GOOD, BUY AUDIOBAHN 8002T. THAT WILL REALLY PUT YOUR SOUND GOOD AND WILL POUND. YOU CAN GET IT FOR 130 US$ |

New member Username: Oily01Post Number: 10 Registered: Mar-06 | so guys do ya all agree that the 2 subs would be powered to their full potential using the audiobahn 8002t |

Bronze Member Username: Rustysurfer916Oviedo, FL Post Number: 97 Registered: Mar-06 | all i know is if you used a legacy amp you could get one thats 5000 watts and they still wouldent be fully powered cuz legacy amps put out no power. |
