I've got a JL 500/1 Class D I'm not using if you are interested as well. It's been sitting on the shelf for about 3 years since I sold the car it was in. I used to run two JL 10's in a JL factory box off of it.
I'm not sure what its worth, make offer I suppose...

Im gonna one up ya!
I am running "AURA" amplifiers. They were manufactured in 1996, and installed in my boat then. They still work like champs. "AURA'' wasn't a big name, but quality made in the USA stuff from the 90's. 17 years on these units! In a boat!
For the most part, there isn't much out there today, that i'd spend money on. I'd rather buy some used stuff from 20 years ago, like Soundstream, ADS, PPI, US Amps, orion, zapco, etc. Maybe this winter I'll put a nice system together.

what ever amp you decide to buy make sure its a class A,,that is where the power starts and look as the total harmonic distortion... point .05 is a good number if you see a .50 then the amp will distors the music faster then a .05 and 20~20000 hertz which is a snappy amp for dase and all across the board..

I am going to run 4 JL 7.7 MX770-CCX off of this amp:http://www.amazon.com/Lanzar-VCT4110...=lanzar+vector
Mainly because I already have it. Is the amp too crappy to run the JL's? I dont want to ruin $600 worth of speakers by running a $100 amp but if it will work, then I'd like to use it..
As far as a sub amp, I'd like to spend as little as possible.. $250ish?

the subs that I have say that they are "selectable 1 or 4 ohm".
I am so confused as to how much power I need to run these. Website says max is 1400w and constant is 350w each.
Im leaning towards this Rockford Fosgate Prime R1000.1

). I went back and searched for my stereo thread. It was the winter of 05/06 and the amp is a JL e4300 model. I paid 199 for it
