-Playstation 2

-StreetWires 4 gauge Amp Wire Kit

-Factory 6 1/2's (x4), factory tweeters (x2).

This is all I have!!! I know I need to replace the factory speackers, duh, but I'm not ready for that yet.
As far as my sub/amp goes HOW DO I MAXIMIZE POWER? can i make it 1ohm? can i get the amp to push that? how does this whole thing work so that I'm hitting as hard as possible with this 1 15" sub and amp!?!?!?
THANKS IN ADVANCE

OK, I figured out myself that the speaker is NOT THE ONE I WANTED! B/c in parallel it would be 1 ohm and the amp wouldn't handle it....I switched out the speaker and got a Kicker compVR dual 4-ohm 15" sub instead. WHAT DO U THINK OF MY SYSTEM...other than the fact I still have factory mids/highs?

....sounds like 1000s of other systems to me...nothing real mindblowing...and i bet you paid an arm and a leg for it...

my only advice is wire the dual 4 ohm kicker down to 2 ohms, throw that on your amp and be gentle with the gain control (IT IS NOT A VOLUME CONTROL!) because you'll be overpowering the sub with the 600 watts.

I just ordered component system for the front speakers and some rear speakers.

Polk Audio db6750
6-3/4" Component System FRONT

Polk db675
6-3/4" 2-way Speakers REAR

No amp, running 23 RMS on each speaker from Alpine headunit.

All together, the whole system, what do you think it cost me?
Is there another system out there better and cheaper?
