I'm almost done with my system for my 02 LS Sport. I put in a JVC HU in it (I got it due to the Fron AUX Input for my Ipod). I bought two pairs of Infiniti Kappa 2 ways for my doors, and a pair of Alpine Type R 5x7 2 ways for the rear deck. I'm going to put the Alpines in the front doors and move a set of the Kappas to the rear deck. I haven't put in the rear deck speakers in yet due to not having an amp yet, so I still have the stock woofers in. I'm going to run the Alpines off the HU, since they're rated at a lower power than the Infinitis.

So this is where I need help. I'm looking to add a 4 channel amp for the Infinitis, and a small sub for the bass. What are some decent amps that give out some solid power? I was looking at Kickers, Alpines, and Rockford Fosgates, but I figured I'd come here for some advice. Also I'm looking for advice on what type of sub I should get or that would best suit the system. I listen to mostly rock and metal, so a big booming sub wouldn't fit what I'm looking for. I was thinking maybe a 10" bass tube or something along those lines. Any assistance from the audio guys would be great...Thanks
 
kicker 4 channel Is a great amp they push about 75x4 I want one for my mids and high I have an older kenwood Exalon Its in the spare tire well and Its cool has a built in cooling fan so dont have to worry about it.... I think your opening a can of worms by asking which is a good amp EVERYONE has different likes IM myself love KICKER I also like the newer rockfords now also but good luck shop around for a good deal
 
Yeah. I realize I'm leaving an oen door with the question, but it's been a long time since I've had a system in my car. I'm kind of out of the loop on what's good out there. I did see the Kickers, and all of the reviews I've read were positive. I'm going to take a trip out this weekend to some audio shops and take a listen to some different amps and subs.
 
I think Alpine V12s are really good, I have 2 one 4 channel (55x4 for 4 doors, Infinity Kappas in the rear door and Infinity components in the fronts) and one 2 channel (80x2 for rear deck's 6x9 Infinity Kappas), very clean and steady sound.
 
I have not heard much about Alpine amps, and nothing too great about RF. Kicker amps can be good.

I personally look away from the larger brands out there. If you look at some of the smaller audiophile companies you can find some great products. I am partial to Elemental Designs but there are other good ones as well.

Here is the 9.4 from ED.

I had alpine Type R system all throughout my 98 Durango and I never had any complaints. Just remember to Dyno. No one likes the rattle.

All are very good but some can be expensive. Solid products and some of the best systems I have seen though.
