[QUOTE="DidUHearThat?, post: 5716502, member: 594758"] You mean both your "sub" amps? Your running the 4 5x7's off the HU, right? Since you say you like the sound of your subs, then leave it for now. Work on your front stage and electrical. Get a cheap Profile amp here: [URL="http://www.profilecaraudio.com/amplifiers.htm"]http://www.profilecaraudio.com/amplifiers.htm[/URL] Then buy the best 6 1/2" component speakers you can afford and lots of door deadening material and install them as best you can. Power them off the profile amp. Nothing less than the PG RS. Boston Acoustics or Morel would be better. You may need another 4 gauge wiring kit. Add up the fuses on all your amps to see if your over the 4 gauge limit. Next, do the Big 3 wiring with at least 4 gauge. Get the biggest deep cycle batt you can fit under the hood to replace your main batt. Figure out how many amps your alt is and how complicated/expensive it will be to get a HO alt for your vehicle. This will probably improve your sub output, and the front (main) speakers will certainly improve your listening enjoyment and mid/bass performance. [/QUOTE]
