Yeah, personally Calgary is a lot nicer looking and definitely has better road systems than Edmonton. But they both suck because of weather haha. What kind of job? And we have a downtown!!

lol ya i know i just don't know much of edmonton besides the west end and calgary trail/white ave areas and sherwood park. Im looking at trying to get a millwright job as an apprentice (its what I was doing recently) but also have been looking at some different spots, I wouldn't care if I worked at a bestbuy or something for a while.

sounds cool my sub is : Sub: Alpine Type E SWE-1041 10 inch sub
specs: impedance is 4 ohms, 200W rms/600W peak

Amp: Planet Audio PA2002 \\2 channel amp, its an older amp but is suppose to be pretty good
Specs: RMS power into 4 ohms 100W*2
Bridge mono power into 4 ohms 200W*1 (seems to be under p;owered now that I look at it)

ive been using a 200w kenwood(old one) for 2 RF 10s. it does ok but when it gets hot out here in AZ, it does shut off. and it also dies with the volume turned up. I ended up getting a class D 1000W. and it makes all the difference. For me anyway!

i ended up getting a 1000w class D for my 10s. It saved my *** and sounds way better. the newer tech in these amps are pretty good.
