Underpowering subs tends to make them play very loose. This is fine if you intend on listening to rap. If you listen to rock or even techno underpowering a sub will make your low tones sloppy and it wont sound very good.

There is nothing wrong with low power systems, underpowering isnt good. Bridging is bad.

Both statements are false. The amount of power just determines how loud your system can get.

Please elaborate how you spending a lot on a home amp makes car audio suck "nuts"?
