[QUOTE="boho2bizon, post: 8842472, member: 688929"] I came to a conclusion that i need to install a sub in my car(Ford Cougar 1999 or in USA Mercury Cougar) as of right now i have an aftermarket head unit and speakers. The head unit is Kenwood kmm-bt205 and the speakers are 4 Hertz speakers and 2 tweeters (I don't know any details about them because they were installed by the previous owner). The speakers are wired to the head unit and I want it to remain that way. I'm thinking about two 10" subwoofers about 300W RMS each and 600W mono channel amplifier. I want to make custom enclosures for the subs and the space I've got is around 0.8-0.9 cubic feet for each enclosure without considering the volume of the sub. I spoke with a friend of mine who basically told me that I don't need two subwoofers (because my whole car would shake like crazy) and that my head unit isn't good for any type of sub/amp system because it has one RCA port with output voltage of 2,5V. My question is do I really need a head unit with 4V output is it really unnecessary to have two subwoofers and how budget should I go if I decide to go through with making the system? And also I'm open for any suggestions. I personally think I have some sort of above basic knowledge of audio but I haven't played around with subwoofers yet. [/QUOTE]
