I had a shitty 1000w amp, look into something that will push around 400 rms, I just bought a new amp from audioque, I would check them out, I love my new amp.

You should be fine with a 650 my 1000 I barely turned up because I knew it was to much power. The AQ amp I just got will run 750rms and I believe 1200 max, I got that for $199.00. They might have smaller versions. :dunno:

Yes

<LI class=banded sizset="243" sizcache="24">Bass Boost
Yes



and an Infinity 894W

The infinity would be a much better amp, here is a FAQ from Crutchfield.com about the different classes of amplifiers. As you see the Jensen is a class AB and the Infinity is a class D.

Q: What's the story on the different amplifier "classes"?
A: An amplifier's circuit design determines its class of operation. Class A amplifiers are desirable for the high quality of their sound, but the design is not particularly suited to car applications because of inefficiency and high heat production. Car amplifiers that boast Class A design are usually a Class A/Class AB hybrids. The Class AB design is most commonly used for car amplifiers because it combines reasonable efficiency, low distortion, and reliability.
Class D amplifiers ("D" does not stand for "digital") boast higher efficiency, produce less heat, and draw less current than traditional Class AB designs, but they tend to have more distortion. Since low-frequency distortion is almost impossible to detect, compact Class D amps rule the bass kingdom. Class T amplifiers combine characteristics of conventional Class AB and cutting-edge Class D designs for great power, compact size, and minimal production of heat. For more information, check out "Classes of Amplifier" in our Amplifier Glossary article.



Here is a link also to the rest of the FAQ page from crutchfield. http://www.crutchfield.com/S-NoRHMw0qAiy/learn/learningcenter/car/amplifiers_faq.html#16

It's not perfect yet. I can't seem to get it just right for all types of music. I get it sounding decent for one rap song and then the next ones starts to play and I get a big popping noise. :dunno: I have a friend that is pretty decent with tuning systems, I need to get him to look at it. It's getting frustrating for me. I know it's just me causing the error because I don't know how to tune a system worth a damn. :lol:

I'm impressed with the bass the Rockfords put out though. You definitely took me in the right direction getting a setup. :thumbs:

I can't believe i forgot about crutchfield i used to have there mids. :lol: very good speakers. and uncle has a rockfords set up they do sound good.

going today to look at the amps and see a price on just getting it all wired for me :lol:. i really got to where i dont like doing electric work incase something happened it can be covered
