Thankfully I had taken my system out of my old car before it was stolen. But I haven't put in the G yet.

Elemental Designs NINe.1 for the subs, and NINe.4 with active crossovers for the fronts.

For the price, I haven't heard anything better.

Alpine PDX 1.1000 and 2.150, love them small foot print, very efficient, gobs of power and decent prices.

JL Audio 1000/1 for two 12w6v2's and a 300/4 for my Boston Acoustics Pro Series. I love them. Nice clean sound and great for bass.

I've heard that these are underpowered, but great SQ.

No one here is a fan of Rockford Fosgate? I'm looking at the older Power 1000 25 to Life series. It's a 5 channel amp that should be able to more than push a system. I'm attracted to a single amp setup since there isn't much room in a Z. It's a beast in size but again, it's a single amp setup.

Not to mention that they look cool as fvck

I don't think they're underpowered myself because I can't turn my monoblock passed half gain cuz my W6 can't handle it. I've got it x-ed over at about 75Hz, the 4.75 sounds fantastic on my K2 components

With your 300/4, do you get any clipping when you crank the hell out of your system? What are those Bostons rated at and what impedence are you running?

^I don't get any clipping at all. The Boston Pro60 series that I have are rated for 125watts so totalwattage is 500 watts. How soon are you looking to buy a setup? Maybe I can let you hear them at the meet.

Hifonics BXi608.

I have a feeling it was a pretty cheapo amp, but it will do the job. only powering a 10" sub.
