Please supply the make and model of the amplifier.
Is the amp 4-ohm rated? 2-ohm rated?
To what type of music do you listen?
What is your goal for the sound system? SPL? sound quality? fill in the missing low frequencies from your existing system?
What sort of budget do you have in mind for sub-woofers?
thank you

Let's try to keep these posts clear of personal shots and try to keep them more professional. I know everyone is entitled to their opinions but we have to word our opinions a little more creatively instead of saying " power akoustic is crap" or " Glasswolf your a dumb piece of crap." ------------- Jeff

Lanzar isnt crap they may have gone downhill a little since they were bought out by I beleive pyramid, but when they were producing the DC series subs and the Opti drive line amps they were pretty high in quality. Never know what Amp he has...now if its a Vibe series then its gettin to the bottom of the barrel.
