Memphis. By far the Studio Memphis series is the best sounding amps I've heard. I just started selling CDT, Audiobahn, and Memphis and we use memphis to power all of our speakers. I've made a few installs with their amps and the quality was great in all of them. (don't drain the battery either!)

I've heard good things about ppi too.

In the memphis line Im looking at the
1000D for the 3 12's

and a MB17 or CA300-4
for the rest of the fill.

Those 2 are next in line after the XTANTX

How would them 2 push the system.

head Unit is a Alpine CVA-1000
Soon to be swaped out with something newer.

EQ is a ERA-G320

I have no complaints at all about my CA300-4, sounds great on just mids and highs, also unhooked the rear set (JL coax) and swapped over to low pass and hooked up a fosgate HE 10" in ported box, sounded very good, im always in the chat, bored at work Check this out.. www.soundhabit.com they have the 1000D for like 389.........
Also my cousin just got one of the Xtant 1001X's and a 604 to install in his integra with 4 Infinity perfect 10s and kappa components, let ya know how it sounds eventually.

The weather is great, you just missed me in the chat earlier I was posting to the question about wiring 2 amps... hit the chat and u had came and gone so i called you a doofus, not sure how long before he gets the stuff installed but he has it already, I think im gonna continue with Eclipse for subs, got 1 88100 and it sounds good, prob. stick with the memphis amps, get a 500D and 1000D and two more eclipse's. :-D
