well, check out some of my other posts in here and see what i've written about mine... here's the big catch... if you have to run a line->rca converter... DO IT BEFORE THE STOCK MONSOON AMP... otherwise you're amping an amped signal which can blow the amp/sub.. i spliced mine in at the harness at the head unit and ran the rca's to the rear where i hooked it up.. sounds clean for now w/ 1 10... i'm sure 2 12's will crank..
