"ive got a set of 10" fosgate subs that are gonna go into the custom box im building. what amps are a good setup to go with these theyll handle 400 watts a piece"
what is the impedance of each sub? that will determine the type of amp you get.
"and i wanna get something that will be able to power 3 tvs later on down the line instead of buyin 2 sets of amps and caps"
im a bit confused....amps dont power tvs, you simply run those off an existing 12v source.

Also, Fosgates use an aluminum voice coil. If you push them too hard or distort them for an extended period of time those voice coils will shatter. Be careful.

Dude, you need to break your sentences up in to something understandable.
Do you have any idea what you're doing? I'm not being a dick, I'm asking a question. Your tv's have NOTHING to do with your audio system other than if you run your audio output rca's to an input channel on your head-unit so you can hear the movie. That's it! They are in no way shape or form wired to your subs, amps, speakers, or head unit.

ok sorry my friend is gonna help me with the install so i dont screw everything up and end up doin more harm then good. My friends havent done a tv so im goin to have it installed for me. i just wanted to kno what a good set of amps are that would be a nice accent to the subs to give them a nice sound. i dont want to get a crappy amp and be pissed off when / if it blows cause it was a waste of money . right now i get little bass compared to the treble . thats the best i can explain it im trying to make this readable so sorry if it looks bad the preview button still looks to close and i kno that i made a mistake with the tv's but i didnt kno, so i hope i dont get abused for it like other people have been in other forums over stupid stuff they wrote

if youve got two 4ohm subs, i recommend the jbl powervalve series of amps, as they are strong, reliable, and relativly cheap. :thumbsup
