+1 im goin to pay someone to hook the shit up for both those exact reasons...i just want to know what exactly im spendin my money on n not walkin into some shop n believing the guy behind the counter that the first sub he shows me is the exact one that i want... regardless, i spent enough time punishing google tonight and have a pretty decent grasp of how the watts to ohms work, which is really all i needed someone to tell me...why couldnt someone break it down for me??....finding specific things on the net today is like finding a irish guy with small nipples. .. im going to be happy with those boston subs i mentioned, all i need now is to find a amp, and well, tomorrow is payday even though its not gonna hit what i wanted my budget to be im shoppin around for a known brand, fair priced, 900-1400 watt 1 ohm stable amp with a remote bass control knob...shouldnt be that hard to find but if anyone has any recommendations give a shout out
