Acctually I think these are the speakers I'm getting....I just remmeber them looking like this (It's been a couple weeks)

I'll post for sure what All i'm getting tomorrow, but I know for sure its the compVRs, and a ported box (I'm getting it from a friend, He's selling it to me for $50 which I guess is a good deal because all of the places wanted around $175-200 to make me one.
 






love the subs! You should know which brand amps you are getting lol
 






Kind of odd that you really don't know what you're getting. If I was getting a new system, I'd sure as hell like to know what's going in my truck, or at least have some clue what I liked.

Let us know I guess.

Well heres why I don't know. I went in there a few weeks ago and they quoted me for the comps and some amp that was yellow. I went back in there yesterday and told them I wanted the compVRs and asked how much more that would be and they just said $250.(I'll need a better amp) Then I left, because I'm going back today or tomorrow to get all the specs and stuff on everything.
 






Not flaming you. But maybe you should take someone in with you that has alittle more expertise than the color of amps. And i'd reccomend the blue amp they have twice the power j/k. Seriously though take someone with you that knows the lingo.
 






The person there showed us it. It wasn't a brand I had ever heard of I just remember it was yeller
 






thats the last person you want to listen to for advice. the salesperson that is.

LMAO

thats the last thing u need, nice subs with a ****ty amp. bad move, call and ask what kinda amp it is, becuase the only"decent" amp i can think of is lightning audio
 












Who knows, but thats not what I'm getting anymore since I'm getting the compVRs
 






whatever ohms and rms your subs are rated at, just try to find an amp that matches those specs. Some cheaper brands try to make you think they have a strong amp by playing with the numbers. The best way to tell the rms of an amp is to just multiply the fuses by 5 and thats about what the amp is putting out. But then again to confuse you more, some amp manufact. put a overly large fuse in to make you think theres is good, just go with a brand you've heard of before and you'll probably be good. IE alpine, mtx ect. A good amp will have exactly what rms it pushes measured and stamped onto it at the factory before it was shipped.

Yellow = MAYBE??? Lightning Audio

Or one of the newer cousitc amps. Also could be a pyramid (they come in 20 diff colors) :(
 






It was yellow and chrome if I recall, can't really remembre, just remmeber yellow. But like I said, I'm not getting it anymore so it doesn't matter.

Definately Lightning Audio, and good choice. ;)
 






Re:

Ive been gone for a couple of weeks...did Lightning Audio become a good brand since then? I always heard terrible things about them. And I know first hand that Pyramid makes terrible stuff.

Tell us how this thing turned out, Laddy.
