[QUOTE="RossenP, post: 7756364, member: 641682"] I'm sorry for the long delay between posts. Now that I looked over the car for space, I'm siding more towards getting a 5 channel amp. I looked at the previous suggestions and have come up with a few possibilities. Most prominently i have looked at an Alpine PDX-V9 and PPI P900.5: The PPI P900.5 amp quotes 70 watts per channel for the mids/highs and 440 at 2ohms through the sub channel. The Alpine PDX-V9 states 100 watts per channel x 4 and 500 watts at 2 ohms x 1. They don't quite reach the stated RMS of the polk sub but I would think that it's still enough (500 watts or 440 watts respectively). As for Cadence Kicker or Soundstream, I'd rather go a little higher end on the amplifier. The last recommendation would be to pick a new sub. Would this be a better alternative? If so, what type? *** So, first, any thoughts on either amp or a suggestion for a better alternative? And second, what about switching subs from Polk to another sub company? As a last note, I'd like to say that i'm mostly looking for sound quality over volume. [/QUOTE]
