[QUOTE="relay, post: 370246, member: 552306"] Hi all. I am seeking help in designing a system to upgrade my factory JBL system. After a bit of research here is what I am currently thinking: Kenwood Excelon 679($300) since I want Sirius radio and the Kenwood Tuner can be had for free many places with the HU. 2 pair of MB QUART RKC 113 5.25" COAX SPEAKERs($70/pair on Ebay) for front and rear speakers. JL Audio custom enclosure sub specifically for Ford Explorer. Just bought a used one on E-Bay. It's rated for 150W RMS @ 4 Ohms. I have been told that I want an amp with around 250W RMS @ 4 Ohms for this sub though as it is better too have more power than too little for this sub. Amp. This is where it gets tough. Should I get a 5 channel amp like the Phoenix Gold 9.0:5(50x4 & 150x1 @ 4 Ohms for $300) or Kicker KX 700.5(40x4 & 200x1 @ 4 Ohms for $330) or Hifonics ZX8000(50x4 & 200x1 @ 4 Ohms for $225) or Or, should I separate the amps and get something like the Hifonics BRUTUS BX1000D (250W x1 @ 4 Ohms $215) AND HiFonics Zeus ZX6400 (85x4 @ 4 Ohms $200) Thanks in advance for all your help!!!!
