[QUOTE="hispls, post: 8776989, member: 614752"] I haven't used JBL Club series but have generally had nothing but good results with all the other JBL/Harmon products I've ever used. Not much you can do to get (or sound) louder without adding weight. Obviously reducing the noise floor in the car would help matters but deadening sufficiently to make a luxury car quiet ride out of an old muscle car with performance upgrades would probably weigh a lot more than an amp. Something like the Arc Audio "mini" would deliver 125X4 and is smaller than a carton of smokes and will only weigh a few pounds. I suspect some of the Brazilian manufacturers make some 100x4 type amps for far less money and even smaller footprints. I mention the Arc because I've actually owned one of those. Granted, getting into a subwoofer would start hurting your weight but I think a modern full range class D amp shouldn't hurt your quarter mile and will be able to comfortably give you 4-5 more clicks of volume worth of output you're after.
