One of the amps that I used to love for bang for the buck was a company called Audio Art. I beleive that they are long gone but they made some killer amps. If you can find them on Ebay they could be worth a look. |
Thanks for all of the responses guys. I ended up purchasing a jl audio amp and alpine subs. They are getting installed on Monday. Can't wait!

Big improvement over those clarions.

3-10" JL subs under the seat and 3 sets of 6.5 JL highs, no complaints so far after the first month, never had it overheat or shutdown. Amps are really good, sound is better than anything else ive heard around here. My only real negative is I am really picky sound wise and would have loved to do sealed enclosures on the subs, just didnt have the room to waste. Not that they sound bad, really good for free air but I prefer the sound of a sealed enclosure. Also went with the 6.5 over the 770's because I acutally liked the sound a touch better, may just be my personal preference as well.

It is easy. Just wire them up with a fake 4 ohm load (resistor) and wire both pair in parrallel and two in then those in series and you wind up with a 4 ohm load.
I just think 3 subs might fill the space better, will it add anything noticeable to the sound? |

Do you think it is worth it for me to add that 3rd sub? My guy thinks if we try to run 3 off the JL 750/1 amp it will hurt the sound quality, something about the impedence. He says the best is to run 2 subs or add another amp and do 4 subs.

JL's new amps just came out. They are alot smaller with more power. If you are hurting for space these amps will be great. The new amp that has more power than my 4500 is half it's size.
