Im running a Memphis C3D2 10' sub with rockford fosgate p-500 running it at 1 ohm. It does push more then 500

but anyways, does a 4 channel amp really make that much of a difference if i would happen to get one?

then would i be able to run those 2 amps without a new alternator?

I drive a Pontiac G6 2006 model. Any feedback would be great

Yes it will make your words sound loud and clear as long as you have aftermarket mids that can handle an amp.
You will be able to run two amps just fine. Just be sure to let your system charge for a couple minutes when you first start your car and before you shut it off.

alright sweet. i figured it would sound better just the worth it part. i do have aftermarket mids.

pretty sure they are powerbass and around a year or so old. would it be worth just getting all new speakers?

i would say just hook em up tune them and see how they are befor you go spending money on new mids. you dont need the best speakers honestly. anything is better than factory. but if you wanna spend money get some beymas lol.

We sell Powerbass speakers and they would be fine on an amp.
If you just get new speakers it's not going to make your system any louder or clearer because there won't be anymore power going to them (unless you run a 4 channel).

If it were my car, I would buy and install the 4 channel with the Powerbass speakers I already have.
Power them up, try it out for a while and see if I like it.
If I wasn't happy with the sound I would invest in some nice Component sets like Rockford Fosgate, JBL or DD.

This Clarion should do just fine. http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_43542_Clarion-XR2420.html

that kenwood looks awesome but i wouldnt quite need all the wattage.

i would like to match my amp to rockford to what runs my sub. so might have to go with that.
