[QUOTE="hispls, post: 8422228, member: 614752"] I do like the JBL GTO5ez. Infinity "Kappa 5" seems similar specs, again they're the same company so may be the same guts even. Either is a good power range for what you're after and a simple solution. Like I said, I'd try to find one as a refurb from the JBL/Harmon store. I've had good luck buying from them. I trust Kenwood for a good source unit (what I run now) not so much for amps and subs. 50-75X4 on the A/B side in a big heatsink shouldn't run into too much trouble with going into thermal protect unless you put a blanket over it or something. The JBL amp runs 225$ from plenty of legit online retailers and a good amp wiring kit (a GOOD one) wouldn't cost you more than 150$. I order most of my wiring from Darvex.com. They're fast and have very competitive prices. 410$ can buy you a close to premium tier sub, even 250$ and paying a local carpenter/shop/cabinet maker/forum member 150$ for a box would give you a lot of good options. Figure out how much space (gross) you want to invest in a subwoofer and we can chime in with some suggestions. [/QUOTE]
