bought it seccond hand brand new :wink: like it has never been used but bought it off a forum.

So now i need to build me a box :D

at the moment I have my speakers running from a 250W Kenwood amp, so im thinking now of possibly running the speakers off the head unit then the sub off the amp..would this be possible? i know i wont be getting as much out of the sub as I could but could i just do this temporarily until I can buy a new amp? Also what sorta amp would i need to run it? id probably be selling my kenwood amp and buying a 4 channel one...what sorta amp should i get (not a heaps expensive one fellas :wink: )

any help would be appreciated :D

I take it your current amp is a two channel hence why you are thinking about getting a 4ch one?

Yes, you can run your speakers off headunit, and sub off the amp (just bridge it).

If you are really really tight on budget, you can get a 4 channel, use the two front ones for front speakers, and bridge the two rear channels to power your sub.

how much are you looking to spend? if you have a bit of money to throw around, you can get two amps, one dedicated to run your sub and the other for speakers. Are your speakers stock?

im really not looking to spend too much money
