Hello! This is my first post here!
I recently bought an Optima and it has the Infinity system w/o navigation.
I was going to go crazy with the system but decided on a more "modest" pair of 12 Solobarics. h t t p s://www.bestbuy.com/site/kicker-dual-12-loaded-subwoofer-black/5760910.p?skuId=5760910
had a few questions I was hoping would be answered here.
First of all that enclosure is rated at 1500 WATTS RMS (750x2) so I was wondering what amount of power I would need to fully push them. Also, will a higher watt amp blow the speakers or will the speakers blow amp if not high enough wattage?!
I wanted to ONLY add the subs in addition to the stock system/head unit etc. I figured I'd use a volume control knob to adjust bass levels. Will this work?
What adapters/additional (other than basic wiring kit) items do I need?
Finally, I would like to know on your guys best advice on HOW to wire it! I read a few threads that said tethering off of or disconnecting the factory 8" and running signal from there?!?!
ANY advice is greatly appreciated and thank you in advance!
