[QUOTE="hispls, post: 8796380, member: 614752"] I'd suggest get a modern 125X4 or 150X4 amp for your fronts and a modern 2000-2500W amp for your subs. Those W7s will not hold up well much over 1000W and they do fine at that power level. DO NOT buy some huge ass amp and break them. I would not feel obliged to replace them with JL amps unless you have deep pockets and want to keep the aesthetics. There's plenty of stuff that'll get the job done for much less money. The JL is really solid, mind you, but very premium priced. I would worry that the fronts may run into trouble though. Soft parts do wear with age and if the tweeters are ferro-fluid filled that **** dries out and they will fail. I'm sure the shop can visually inspect them to make sure everything is physically intact but I'd expect they're nearing the end of their expected life if they're 20 years old. The only thing I'd really worry about on the W7s would be the surrounds but those look good from your pic. Looks like a really cool car. Post some pics and impressions whenever you get some new power in there. [/QUOTE]
