[QUOTE="keep_hope_alive, post: 7421372, member: 576029"] you have a bad plan. the 6x9's need their own boxes and cannot share the airspace with a sub. a true 1200W RMS sub will cost more than the quote you got. never look at MAX power ratings and only concern yourself with RMS power ratings. a 4 channel amp is not going to work well since you have two 4 ohm subs. you want a single subwoofer amp - a monoblock Class D. start with that and your subs. if you want to add 6x9's then you'll need a separate amp for them. when you install the power wiring (4 awg will be plenty for your budget) get a kit that includes a distribution block. note that you want to avoid mounting the amp to the sub box. it makes stealing your entire system very easy and makes removing your box to get to your spare very difficult. just mount the amp(s) to the rear of the back seat so wiring can be neat and tidy.
