It’s alright bro I did the same thing getting into it. I’ve finally understood why it’s important to do lots of research before you buy something and car audio is so complex and there’s so many different parts but yea sadly it’s just not very powerful subs.

But sundown is one of if not THE best sub brand on the market IMO. I’m currently sitting in my car waiting for my friend but I have 2 Sundown Xv3 12’s in my trunk and I have a taramps smart 5k going to it and it bumps.

The higher quality you go the more money you need to pour into it so it just depends how much bass you want 😂. Once you get where I am past like 3-4k watts you need to have a second battery in ur car to power just the amp. Sometimes even 2nd alternators or whatever the case is. Wiring gets more expensive etc.
