mono=1 channel. strictly for subs
2 fronts = 2 channels right? would i have to get a 4 channel amp then, to connect the sub?

nah get a mono amp for the sub.
 
If you want to use one amp you can always pick up a sundown 4 channel. Use two channels for the fronts, bridge the other two channels. You'd have to pickan efficient subwoofer though.
 
best recommendation budget friendly?

total for amp and sub $400, or below if possible. i see a lot of deals on ebay, just don't know what would work with what.

There a few Punch subwoofers in the Rockford line-up...How old are they, whats the model #?
Even if they are the latest in great condition, you probably wont get more than 150 for the pair max...

AMP: http://www.woofersetc.com/p6249/MRPM500--Alpine-Mono-500W-subwoofer-amplifier.htm
thanks! so where would i run my speakers? on my factory amp? head unit?


Chances are your factory amp puts out more clean power than the headunit, so wire them that way.
 
Mr. Monday Night, can you recommend me a system, my budget is 1500 (product). Also could you tell me what kind of box I need for the sub you recommend. I drivea 2003 vw gti if that info is needed. Really appreciate.

So you recommend this sub over a Fi Q12? I probably can build a box, what kind of measurements would I be looking at? If I cant though, could you recommend aplace to get one
 
Yea I can fit that box, any suggestions?. Is there anyway I could get a cheaper deck, or will it diminish the sound?
 
If you get the q, get the dual 2 so it can be wired to 1 ohm...get bp power too incase you ever wanna throw a full 1500w at it..

If you ever do plan on going active(you can with the 9887) i would get a 4 channel amp now instead of worrying about selling the 2 ch down the line.
