This guide is to aid you in your search for car sub woofers and amplifiers. So many people jump right into car audio without really knowing much about it.

I talk about RMS often, RMS is a technical term referring to the continuous amount of wattage a sub can handle. When shopping for subs, DO NOT look at PEAK power, its a stupid marketing/sales aspect of a sub. Apparently PEAK is how much power a sub can handle if the power peaks, such as a kick drum hitting, etc. Do not factor PEAK power into anything, always know the RMS, if you were to hook up a 1000 watt RMS amp to a 1000 WATT PEAK sub, it would blow after a day, maybe sooner.
