Ask the boss to fly kite. His intention is just want to make money from you.
Basicly, more power is better, considering your amp's quality is unknown. I feel the amp is overrated, actual it might not pump out so much power.
By lowering your amp's gain to minimum, you still can use the sub. Infact, it will be better as you no need to stress your amp. It will be ignoring if your amp cut when too hot.

can anyone recommend a 4channel amp for me? budget is rm500-rm800, i don mind 2nd hand stuff oso.. pls help sifus.. btw, isaw this agako platinum acoustic eg3004 amp.. is this one good enuf to power components for a good front stage?

and one more thing, is ma audio consideres as cap ayam oso?

Feel like upgrading my HU, currently using Sony Gt760..
Eclipse? Alpine? Pioneer?

Blur~~~
Actually how to choose a good HU?
Newbie here..

Budget around 1.5k to 2k, not into usb or ipod..
I wonder how's nakamichi hu? cannot get at that price right..

Well i have to do this , recently i upgrade my ICE Setup example in my signature, within 2 week i almost spend more than 15k setup above; I would like to share my experience with you all;
First 1st lastweek i use Debezt monoblock 1000w bridge to 1Ω to kick 2 x Rockford Fosgate T112D4 DVC 4Ω Dual (which each sub need 600w-1200w peak) both sub woffer need 1200w
So i add another monoblock same brand Debezt, 2 monoblock kick 2 sub parellel-wiring but guess what ? The monoblock over heat / lighting protection come out and in / sometime have woofer sound sometime cut off 
Yes if your monoblock underpower will coz overheat n auto cut-off; to solve this change better monoblock [more power needed in watt]
at last the monoblock still under warranty, so change to Shuttle LAB 1700W class D monoblock [Prokick sister?] and really can kick 2 sub-woofer with series-parallel wiring at 1Ω [really awesome]

Car Battery:- N70Z/L AH75 12v [upgrading done]
Car Alternator:- Stock Toyota Corolla SEG
Battery 12v >> in-line fuse (front bonet) >> Prokick 2.0cap (rear bonet beside monoblock) >> Shuttle Lab monoblock (rear bonet) +ve from capicitor >> 2sub
ALL Cable 4AWG, Grounding Cable same as 4AWG (less than 1feet) to vehicle body chasis, sub 8AWG cable
Recent add:- 5 Point Grounding 4AWG Cable to Alternator 1point, Engine chasis 2point, CarBody 2point (adding because due to the vehicle engine spark / idle / electricity no enough stable)

Testing 1 Week already;
SQ Slow music which bass sound come slow 1 by 1 okie no problem at all;
SPL Bass like continuously coming in second, headlight dimming problem; everything light dimming; monoblock totally suck all the battery watt;
Today just add another Prokick 2.0digital farad on the shuttle lab monoblock, its only help a bit  [lesser dimming problem]
Future need to change bigger alternator / dynamo ? or got another way to solve this ?

Soon upgrade PXA-H100, Alpine minimum RMS per channel 100w 4Ω x 4 channel, throw away my 6x9" useless boston acoustic (tweeter quite harsh sound) haha...
Btw add Raizin Volt Stabilizer will its help or not ? Coz today testing on my car, like nothing special happen de (what use of this item?)

to all sifus..is it ok wif this setup..need advice..tqvm 
Component speaker :
Soundstream Arachnid SC-60T 2-way component speaker. rm290

Coaxial speaker :
Soundstream Arachnid SF-693T 6x9” 3-way Speaker. RM 290

how bout the subs perfomance ehh..isit ok..

n how bout the amp..isit enuf power to pump those subs..

Does anyone here stay around in shah alam?
I really need help from you guys because I am not satisfy with my audio set up.
I spend a lot of money for my audio system but my friends car's set up really sound better from mine. And he only spend not more than 1.2k I think.

btw, does a cheap sub-woofer box makes any different with the expensive one?

Is there anywhere i can audition a Boston SX60, Focal Access A1 and Domination Lite?

=D thanks!

So which box suites the best for kicker 12"?
in what price range?

Thanks for your reply bro! Haha i know u have the SL60 before. Its all over the web . You choosed it over the Type R and DLS R6A. Is it really better than those?

The SL60 really poisoned me. I was comparing the SX60 and the Focal Access 165A1, and both were more or less comparable, but once the shopowner insisted i try the SL60, bam, now both the SX60 and 165A1 sounds like crap .

Such a dilemma cause as much possible i'd like to stick to my budget . Anyway, i'll try out the Dominations first, then recompare the SX60 and 165A1. If i really cant tahan then i'll up my budget.

But for RM1200, is the Boston SL60 the best choice? How about other options? Alpine Type X requires amp-ing to sound good right, so that might not be a good choice . What are my other options?

Thanks alot people!

lol. its kinda sad the above applies to me greatly too

Any recommendations?

I was thinking of having the doors moulded for 6.5" speakers leaving the stock speakers in the rear getting a amp with subwoofer.
