	you could use a JBL BPX1100.1 though you might be under powering them every so slightly. BPX2200.1 for sure but you'r talking max draw going from 110amps from the BPX1100.1 to 190amps on the BPX2200.1. both amps are pretty light weight too.

	a pair of Ground zero GZRA 1.1000D http://www.ground-zero-audio.com/13_download/gzrad.pdf in bridge mode would do the job should do about 1.2 KW in 4 ohm should blow your brains all over that car the power is real, because I've tested that amp and almoust melted some really serious power cables

	easier to use an extra battery in parallel with the normal supply this acts as a power cap and is alot more effective due to its huge reserve of power wen compared with a power cap. Also works our cheaper as power caps can be pretty expensive especially wen following the one for every 4-500watts recomendation....

	my soon to be settup with be as follows: 2x JBL W12GTi MKII or W15GTi MKII (subs) 2x JBL BPX2200.1 (amps) i'll have an extra battery my self with the use of two to four caps for backups if the battery seems weak at any time. i'll be needed to use 0 gauge or -2gauge for my mains and thats for a 4,400watt system burst purposes. if you'r going to use a battery, if you can find any in you'r area, an Optima Yellow top. more juice then you'l ever need and has over 500amps of cold crank at all times as long as it's hooked to the alternator for years of it's life. EDIT: it all depends on how much amps you'r system is pulling really. mine, 380amps max draw. Edited by NeverWinter - 19 October 2006 at 4:56pm

	just for the subs, you can replace you're normal battery if you want with it, but you'r still going to need another for the subs. you want it so that the main vehicle battery has what it need to supply the engine with it's spark. the other for the subs wont generaly be used all that much unless you're blasting away. having two batteries help the alternator out alot too, sence it's not workin it's butt of to keep the car alive and the battery alive at the same time.
