Page 1 of Advice Please! Car Audio Boffins needed

Im currently rocking a Peugeot 106 and have stuck a reasonable head unit and some decent speakers in it. However......;)...im really fancying a sub.

The thing is, im not hugely arsed about a krakatoa bassbin, just something to take the pressure off the speakers, which are currently being a bit abused. This is also due to the fact that I dont want to take the dash off and feed a power wire through the firewall.

Anyway, this is my head unit, for reference and this is the kind of sub im thinking about.

So, basically, the thrust of this is; Is the head unit powerful enough to drive the sub?

If it is, would it drive this? :D :D

Could someone let me know what language this is so I can put it through a translator. :¦

Your head unit is only capable of 4x18w RMS and the sub is rated at 600W. The head unit will drive it, but don`t expect it to be very loud or powerful. Consider a separate amp so that the sub "compliments" the 4 channels rather than replacing 2 of them! As a general guide, the speakers must be capable of a higher output (measured in Watts) than the Amp driving them. Also be careful on the exact measure of Watts - some use RMS (which is the most accurate) and some manufactures quote in PMPO (approx 4xRMS) to try and make their kit seem "better".

Hope this helps!
