Hey, always talked about gettin a system. I finally am. Im going to be having my back seats unbolted and lifted in my 08' Nissan Frontier 4 Door.

Right now, i have an order for 2 Kicker 12" CVR's. And i'm not sure what i should power them with. and was wondering. What else do you think i should be looking to buy as in getting those set up and running?

the description of the subs im buying are "12" Comp VR Competition Subwoofers 1,600 Watts Max Power 800 Watts RMS Power Dual 4 Ohm Voice Coils" buying them from a trusted seller on Ebay

2000 watts is WAY too much. You need about 800-1000wrms @ 1 ohm. Whats your budget on amp?

The sundown and RD amp are the same internally. The Rockford T5001 amp is very underrated and should put out 750-1000wrms. The hifonics is the least quality amp on the list, but is a solid "budget" amp, should put out about 900-1000wrms.

Sundown sae-1000D
RD 1000.1
Audioque 1000D
ED NINe.1
Rockford T5001bd
Rockford P10001bd
Hifonics BXi1206/1207 (year difference)

No that's class A/B and MTX isn't very good. You need a mono class D amp that's stable at 1ohm. I'd go with a Sundown SAE-1000D or RD 1000.1 or just about anything else Donnie suggested.

Won't need 50' of 0 Gauge. 20' should be fine.

Rest sounds good, although IMO the DEH-590 is a pretty decent step up from the 490 for not much more. What's your budget for a HU?

low-hz.com is where I got my Sundown from. Make sure to contact him first to get about $100 off the MSRP. Kevin's the owner, he's on here every once in awhile.
