Default Help me pick out an amp

I found this website that seems to have good prices, unless you know where I can get a good deal on a sub amp and 2-channel amp. They have Kicker, Rockford fosgate, MB Quart, JL Audio, MTX, etc.

I wand to keep the total for both amps under $500

Are mb quart good amps?

I think I will go with an ED sub 9Kv.2 since somebody on this forum got good results with one under the seat.

Should I just get ED's Nine.1 amps?

Let me know what you guys think

these 2 places have great prices as well and buy a amp that has about the same RMS power rating as the sub so you won't over power it and burn it.

check out knukoncepts, they have 4 gauge wiring for a great price and the amp kit comes with RCA's and a remote lead as well. are you using the stock radio or an aftermarket radio?

ok, so you will have 3 outputs front-rear-subwoofer. hook up the RCA's from the amp to the subwoofer so you can control it through there if you don't have a bass remote for the amp and the radio will come with a blue cable that saids remote lead for your remote wire from the amp. so yeah 4gauge wiring from the battery to the amp with a fuse 10"s away from the battery and a 4gauge ground as well but make sure your ground is secure and won't come loose that easy. seems about all of it.

I got my HU(Pioneer FH-P800BT) installed today. I decided on Alpine MRP-M450 for an amp. I'm having an enclosure built by ED for under the seat. should be done in 2-3 weeks.
