[QUOTE="Frankensuby, post: 2566230, member: 569869"] The amps I suggested aren't my favorites, but my experience with Power Acoustik leads me to believe they are decent, just not greatly built. Basically, the way to approach Power Acoustik products is this: If it says 125 watts RMS, it really is only 100 watts RMS, and so on. Only an RMS meter can tell you the truth though. I'd rather have gone with the Pioneers I showed you earlier. They are a tad more expensive, but I'd trust them 100% more and they had better stats. They are probably a bit more bulky though. But yes, my entire current audio system was alot of bargain shopping, I like to find flatline prices on stuff. Paying off a new car, insurance, engagements rings, etc. tends to make a person frugal with their funds [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif[/IMG] As for the wiring, you can sort of save a bit of time and money by running signal straight to the amps instead of running wire to each door. If you wire from the deck to the doors, and then decide to run amps later, it's just doubling your chores in the long run. The speakers I suggested sound best off of amps, with their rated power. The reason i suggested those amps were also because they look identical, and similar to your stock amps (in looks atleast). That way you can install them symetrically and it'll look nice and clean.
