right now i have a kicker 12L5 and it is gtetting 300 watts and it sounds extremely good in my explorer but on the other hand i have 300 more watts that can either go for highs or should i push them in to my sub for the grand total of 600 watts to my sub(in a sealed box). which would u chose :confused:

    Well that sub will handle 600 but I take it youre powering your speakers off the h/u? If thats the case, use that amp for your mids/highs. They need power too. That is unless youre just wanting to be the loudest guy in the mall parking lot. If thats the case, stick it on the sub.

    I believe that the sub can reach its full potential without the 600 watts. Maybe not totally with the 300 watts, but if it sounds good, I would use the rest of the power for the mids/highs.
