Yes, just take it to a proffesional.

Oh wait...
Being that the OP wanted online advice I naturally assumed he had no intention of visting a store and was going for the DIY approach for any number of reasons. Car audio is a vast subject. If it wasnt, there would be one thread explaining all you need to know. Sorry getting off topic and hate to start a pissing contest.

Its really not. Take your car to a shop and have them hook it up to a scope. You will know in a few seconds if your set up is working correctly or not and if it has enough headroom.

Ok then he can scope it himself. I have offered a few times to do reviews on oscilloscope tuning.

Best buy is not an audio shop. Around here I cannot think of a shop without a scope.

This is where bass was invented. I would hope we had some better shops than most. I remember in the late 80's when you heard bass in a car and everyone turned in that direction. Now people are like turn that crap down. My first set of woofers were called Bumpers.



For the conversion, Amps = Watts/Volts.
