If you want to do the entire sound system you want to look at RMS, it’s the power behind the speakers, subwoofer, head unit & amp. An amp varies in channels, power & function and each channel supports one speaker or subwoofer. Most speakers don’t have high RMS, high quality speakers can have 90W RMS while a subwoofer can have 1200W RMS. The point is that the more channels there are on an amp the less RMS per channel. Run multiple amps to be able to support the RMS and get all of power and quality out of your sound system. There’s endless ways of setting up your sound system while matching the RMS. If all equipment is compatible then I’d run a 1200W RMS mono amp and a (ex.front and rear speakers) 4 channel x 90W RMS amp or lower. That’s the tricky part is finding these matching numbers but if you had a 1200W RMS subwoofer just know that if wired correctly would be insane. You really don’t need anything more than 300W RMS subwoofer, you can feel it in your chest when it’s cranked up to the limit before it starts to get distorted. The 300W RMS subwoofer isn’t insanely loud but decently loud. The 1200W RMS subwoofer on the other hand, the whole neighborhood would practically hear it. So to answer your question ‘why is the amp kit $400 and why are we allowing this to happen’, is because it uses a 0/1 gauge wire and it allows for two amps. The reason why we’re allowing it to happen is to power the equipment properly. The gauge size determines how much wattage it powers and the bigger the wire the more it’ll cost.
