Kicker amps are good, but they suck a lot of power...they're not efficient at all. I would look into other stuff. Definitely look into a new sub and speakers. You can do way better for the money. My best of advice for you is: don't buy name brand, mainstream stuff. The good stuff today is made by companies most people have never heard of. I'll start you off with a few, then look around for yourself. Fi, Audioque, Ascendant Audio, CDT, Focal, Dynaudio, Morel, Hertz, Diamond, Sundown, Stereo Integrity, Rainbow, etc.

cool, i already have the kickers though and got the 4 12in CVR for 300 total for all 4 brand new which i must say is pretty cheap, the price isn't a big issue. and then i have a second battery in the back for the power, one of the main reason i went with kicker though is caue thats all i ever had in any of my cars i know the product lasts, but thanks for the point i will def check out some of the brands you mention cause i do need to but a whole new system in my old school beemer

well stick with the amps...those are cool. i just really dont like kicker subs. they have no sound quality whatsoever. Based on your budget for the subs, id trade those 4 kickers for 2-4 ascendaunt audio assassin's or phoenix gold RSd's. i think you'll be way happier with the sound. if you're used to kicker stuff, then i think you'll be amazed at the detail you've been missing in your music. going from kicker to a more sq-oriented sub is like going from night to day. huge difference.
