I have a dodge ram and I am ordering a custom box for under the back seat. The box holds 2 12"subs. Now I've never really had a sound system before so I'm trying to purchase one while not bankrupting myself. I've found two subs pioneer 12" 4 ohm peak at 1400watts. Rms at 800watts. The impendance is 4 ohms. The amp that I am looking at is not very expensive I know but I'm in school so not trying to blow money right now. It's boss cx750. It has 4ohms at 220watts at 2 channels. And peak is 800watts at 2 channels. I'm just wondering if anyone has any experience with either of thesee. If anyone has any better suggestions those are greatly welcomed too.

what is your overall budget for the 2 subs and an amp? not saying those are bad choices but you might be able to get something much better depending on what you want to spend. i know boss doesnt have a stellar reputation for durability so if you can afford a little more or maybe spend the same you can find something that will last you a good while so you dont waste money on something that will give you nothing but trouble. there is a reason why you never see an old boss amp...
also keep in mind that you will need to budget money for an amp kit and a line output converter if you plan on hooking this up to a factory stereo. the line output converter is not necessary if you have an aftermarket radio with pre-amp outputs.
do you plan on installing this yourself? i also suggest you keep in mine where you will mount the amp and buy an amp that fits in that spot, usually i like under one of the seats in a dodge truck.

For the 2 subs and amp I want to spend at most 400 to 500.

I'm going to buy an in dash Jensen flip monitor or whatever you call it. No I'm not going to install it myself I have a friend that has his own little custom shop or I'll bring it somewhere I just don't want to get screwed buying the subs and amp from a shop. Finally yeah I think the amp would be fit greatly underneath my seat.
