I saw a kit at an audio place that included a 400 watt Lightning Audio amp, wire kit, and 12 inch Lightning Audio subwoofer with box. I was wondering how good of a brand this is and if I should spend the money on it. Honest opinions, but educated?

They are decent subs/amps... better than flea-market fare, but not by a whole lot.

I heard the "F&F" setup in one of my friends cars, and it was ok, not bad, but not very good either. Afterwards he gave me around $1800 and I hooked him up with a monster all-around system.

If you're on a budget, and they fit your budget, then go for it.

Well for 119 dollars... lol.

Provided I don't beat the hell out of it, can I count on it lasting a fair amount of time? Is it going to give alright bass?

If you are on a budget, and not looking into setting up a show car with bass that shakes the dentures out of some old guy 50ft. away, then go with the lightening audio setup. They would likely be rated in a beginner setup scale and offer much bang for the buck.

Yeah no shit, lol

I'm trying to decide if I should go get this kit tomorrow... I just can't decide. I already have hearing aids (nerve damage from when i was born), but I want bass, but not too extreme that it's going to damage my hearing even more

I HAD LIGHTNING AUDIO AMP, AND IT WAS A GOOD AMP TO START OUT WITH. THE ONLY REASON WHY I SOLD IT IS CUZ I DIDNT LIKE THE COLORS THEY HAVE, AND I WAS UPGRADEING
