[QUOTE="ditosdad, post: 8391171, member: 666121"] First, I used to be big into car audio back in the 90's, and have only been comparing factory sound systems since then! I had a 2010 Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon with the factory upgraded Infinity sound system with the 8" subwoofer. That was not a bad sounding set up for a factory upgrade. I traded that Jeep in for a 2015 Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon without the new Alpine factory upgraded sound system, and the stock speakers are the second worst things I have heard, with the first worst being a pair of Kraco speakers sitting on top of a rear deck! I now realize after paying a lot for the vehicle I need a decent sounding system put in. The Alpine upgrade would of been about $800.00 more and they didn't have that option in the color Jeep I wanted. Right now I am looking at (4) Kicker 40CS654 and either an Orion XTR1200.4, Orion XTR800.4 or a less expensive route PPI Black Ice BA1600.4. My question is based off the Kicker power specs which amp should I go with? Also will I need a capacitor? I am not going to use a subwoofer. Please help! I can get the following amps for the following prices: Orion XTR1200.4 - $289.00 Orion XTR800.4 - $234.00 PPI Black Ice BA1600.4 - $110 [/QUOTE]
