• Answer:

  yeah without brand names it is just here say. For instance if you have all kicker subs and speakers and the rms power requirement is lets say 2000 and you have a boss amplifier that says it's 2000 watts there is no way it will work, because kicker is pretty much right on the money when it comes to power ratings and boss highly exhaggerates their ratings, so that 2000 watt boss amp only actually provides around 600-800 watts of power. try buying the speakers, sub, and amp from the same brand, also I would use a seperate amp for the sub and speakers.
