So now that thats done I decided to start shoppin around for a good setup for his car. We want to save room in his trunk so we are looking at maybe a 10" sub powered by a decent amp. One of the main things that I looked for when shopping for my amp was CEA-2006 Compliance. Ive heard 'Cadence' is a very good brand and decided to see if they had anything suited for my friends car. Thats when I found the Xa300.1 http://www.woofersetc.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=product.display&product_id=8046 its within budget and has good power output from a good brand. Now... I noticed it is not CEA-2006 compliant. I was wondering ... is this even important? I have heard good things about Cadence, so is there any reason they dont have the certification for their amps. Is it anything to worry about? (feel free to suggest other budget friendly options) |

All of their products are well made, and well designed, and fairly affordable. |
