Re: anyone know about stereos?

:agree: Depending on the head unit you'll be running will depend on how you wire the speakers..... If the head unit has 3 sets of Pre-outs, one of them will be specifically for a sub, if thats the case you'd be better off going for a "monoblock" amp, basically it ONLY has the outputs to ru...
