i have two kicker 15L5's sittin in the back seat of my dakota club cab....wut would someone suggest i do as far as an amplifier...do i want to go with a powerfull 2-channel or two monos...also i havnt picked out my head unit yet..now im only 17 dont have much more money to work with...is it gona matter if i go with a cheap pioneer cd player..i mean will it effect performance that much?..i was gona do a "Lanzar vibe248" amp which should put somethin like 500-800x2 watts, and a "panasonic dehp3500" head unit. if anyone has some good advice or thinks this would be a totaly wrong move please give me your input..also im kinda confused with the kicker subs wiring on the back..i bought 2ohm subs to get the most power out of them the booklet says 2ohm dual = 4ohm load...why is that if they are 2ohm subs?

Go with a mono amplifier that puts out full power at 2 ohms.

They are dual 2 ohm subs. If you wire them in series, it will equal 4 ohms.

A MTX 81000d would be perfect. A Rockford Fosgate BD1000 or BD1500 would be good too.

I'd go with a Pioneer, Alpine, or Clarion head unit. They are almost guaranteed to have good reliability.

I have a Pioneer Premier DEH-240. I'll sell it for $85. Looks good and works good. Or, if you have more to spend, you can look around for a higher model.

If each sub has a two ohm load then you could use a single 2 channel amp or a single mono amp that is either 1-ohm stable or puts out full power at 4-ohms. Both will work fine, you just have to choose the wattage.
