Want to help me with my 8 speaker, 2sub system?!?! Alright well here it is in a nut shell. I have a 1998 T/A and im trying to improve my sound system, and also need some advise about how to build something that will fit my needs. Yet just expand on what i already have. So far i know i need a sub amp, but im not sure exactally how to match up the RMS wattage levels, and get a GOOOD sounding system. 
SPEAKERS
2 MB Quarts front Tweeters ( Each on their own channel) ( IN a/c vets)
2 Stock Door Pannels- which i just ordered some Pioneer TS-D161R ( Each on their own channel) about 60rms
http://www.crutchfield.com/S-hGMY7AL...0&I=130TSD161R
2 Kick Panels, changed the tweeters to MB ( Each on their own channel)quarts.http://www.crutchfield.com/S-hGMY7AL...0&I=044K100580
2 Rear Seat Speakers... the Pioneer TS-A1671R (Each on their own channel) about 40rms
http://www.crutchfield.com/S-hGMY7AL...0&I=130TSA1671
No Rear hatch Speakers.... Nobody needs them...
And For the Subs 2 Sony Explode Subs about 350RMS, and a 1200 watt peak power.... you know the red ones that have like a 5 sided design, going into a HUGE custom box. just like the subthumps...
AMPS
2 Four channel Kenwood KAC-746 Amp... Pumps around 35RMS X 4 channels.... theck out the wiring diagram, and specks.
ftp://docs.kenwoodusa.com/manuals/OM...-1996-KUSA.pdf
I KNOW i need a good SUB amp what do you guys reccomend? Im just in need of something with a GOOD ammount of hard hits, and something that wont clean out my bank!!
And also for future references when i get more $$ I think i need to invest in two more 4CH amps? What would u guys reccomend, somethng that pumps out @ 50 RMS X 4CH?
THANKS

Started off really good with mb quart but buy the time you got end you started talking about sony/kenwood stuff 
Look into JLs they are really good for the money. Instead of buying stuff full price check out www.carmedia1.com 
Replace sony stuff with JL Audio
Replace poineer speakers with infinity, kicker or all mb quart.

yeah but the Pioneer TS-D161R ..... i think the 160$ speakers will do, i mean really for the $$ i think think that they will be good! I bought them for 48 bucks to... i hear that they are awesome speakers, but yeah the sony's are alright, and the kenwood amps kinda need to go....
so whatcha think about my sub amp? Get a mono Class D, JL? or maybe a 2CH JL?

I would steer clear of both of those brands. (sony and kenwood).
If you get a single sub a mono class D amp will be fine. A two channel will give you greater flexability. I would recommend getting a rockford amp and a JL sub.

Here is another good spot to start to buy.
http://www.etronics.com/ Best prices for new that I have found.
I'll agree with JL. Also check out the Infinity Kappa Perfect systems. Great sounding speaker and the prices have dropped way down due to this years model comming out. Great buy for the money.
