I know i'm kinda late on the topic, but since you went hifonics on the components, see how that jensen amp works out if not crunch makes the amp i pasted below, Crunch, Hifonics and MB Quart are all made by Maxxonics. Just an idea if you need a lil bit more power for the components and it runs under 80 bucks.

Thanks for the suggestion, I did look at that one a little before I placed my order. The only thing was I didn't like the power output. Spec sheet says under 60 rms x 4 channels and 225 rms x 2 channels. The Jensen came with a "certification" of the power output of 75 rms x 4 channels and 190 rms x 2 channels. The components are 100 rms and the sub is 200 rms. I just wanted to give them some breathing room. Who knows what the real power output would be, but by the specs the front speakers would get less power and the sub might get too much. I think this should be fine for what I wanted, but if I do upgrade, I'll go with a more powerful 4 channel amp and a more powerful sub.

I'll let you know how they pair off i'm in the process of redoing my audio, i plan to pair off the hifonics components with this amp, I'm also going to get the brutus 1600 watt on either a pair of kicker cvr's which i have now , or sell them and get some Alpine type R's, I'm trying to see about a ported box since my rear seats don't fold down, Right now the Cvr's are in a sealed box and sound nice for having a crappy amp on them.

Cool, sounds like a bit more power and space consumption than i'm looking for in mine, but be sure and let us know how it goes.

no ticket, he wasn't running his lights or his siren. We never even saw him, we were just driving down the road and then we weren't. When I looked out my window the first thing I saw was the big ram guard thing they have on their front bumpers. The officer almost laughingly said "I thought it was clear so I just gunned it." Even worse than that, they are protected by the city so it had to be filed on my insurance and because somehow no one was hurt, they took more than three months to settle it with my insurance. I'm getting all riled up again...

I will say, in my two wrecks my cars have been totaled and I have walked away unharmed when I shouldn't have. First one was my Cavalier that hydroplaned on the way to church--you could see the lines in the ditch where my car spun around a street sign without touching it then rolled 3 and 1/2 times. And with the Focus being Tboned on the driver side--the entire driver side was jacked up, but the damage was incredibly minimal only at the driver door...God is good

Sorry for getting off topic, just haven't talked about this in a while.
