so I recently was suckered into buying things that I can't put in my car, at a local store's audio sale. I went in with a plan (one eight inch, 200 watt sub and an amp), but deviated from it because of tempting SALES, and tricky salesman (just doing their jobs though). Bottom line is I now have 2, 8 inch kicker subwoofers, in their unopened boxes. The rms wattage is 100. They are the "kicker C8 comps." I also have an amp to power them; a 160 watt 2 channel "verge (circuit city)" amp. The sales rep said it would be no problem to run each sub at 80 watts off the 160 watt amp when I asked if they would be underpowered. I paid $220 for everything, and am really just trying to break even here. I'm fine with paying shipping costs though if anyones real interested. All of the stuff is unopened. Let me know soon though so I can take the stuff off of ebay...Thanks,-Nickhttp://www.thebassbin.co.uk/im...8.jpg(subs)ht ... 7.JPG(amp)

don't get me started... I feel like an idiot- It was a SALE! so of course I had to buy the second one for 30% off or whatever it was. I was planning on keeping one, and selling the other on ebay or something. I thought I was buying a different kicker that I'd seen online (they make a 200w, 2 ohm woofer), and I was planning on bridging the amp to power that single sub at 160 watts. The problem is, I bought two 4ohm, 100 watt subs, that the amp would power at 80 each. But I don't have room for both subs... which is where my dilemma lies.

It gets worse- I can't even keep the amp to power that 200 watt 2 ohm sub, because the one I bought won't handle 2ohm resistance in bridged mode. Cry me a river right....
