I have put together a few combinations of amplifiers. Some of them are suggested by other people. Can you help me figure out which combination will better suit my needs?

1)
Component speakers: T400-4 or T400x4ad ($400)
Subs: T750 ($360)

Or
 
2)
Component speakers:  T400-4 ($400) or T600-4 ($600)
Subs:  T1000-1BDCP ($700) 

Or 
 
3)
Component speakers:  P400X4 ($270) or P600X4 ($370)
Subs:  P1000X1BD ($400)

I can see that number 2 and 3 will give me more power to play with, but what is the difference between them?

I just upgraded from 2 JL 10w6v3

Was running a JL XD 600/1v2. 

Amp was enough to power both subs just over the optimum power since I believe its listed at 250watts. If your looking to push them to the max you'll need more than 600 watts. My local JL Dealer told me this amp was designed to run 2 of these subs. 

Hope this helps at all.

What did you upgrade to and why? Just curious

When it comes to choosing amps only, I am looking at these two options:

• Rockford Fosgate Power T-1bdCP
  
• XD1000/1v2: Monoblock Class D Subwoofer Amplifier, 1000 W
  

Is there any reason to prefer the JL amplifier over the RF, other than "staying with the brand name"?

I had the 2 10w6v3 in a Ford focus st.  When I sold it for my Jeep I wanted something a bit bigger and louder. The w6 just wasnt hitting the low notes like a wanted. The 13w7 is a big step up from the 2 10w6v3. It sounds alot better and still sounds good with kick drums as well as dubstep. As for the amp someone else might be able to answer that a little better than me. I went with my Rockford because of the amp tests I've watched on YouTube. They showed each amps efficiency and the RF beat the JL hands down.
