I already have picked out which speakers and subs I want. Now I just need to match up some power to it. I would like to get 2 amps. One for highs and one for the two subs. Here is the speakers I'm lookin at..
Subs:
2 JL 10" W3v2 300 watts a piece
Speakers:
Front- 2 JL XR650-Csi 70 watts each
Back - 2 JL XR650-Cxi 70 watts each
Added up that is 880 watts total.
600 for the subwoofers
280 for the highs.
Which amps would be good for each? The power I listed is the continuous power handling now max...
Please help, I have no clue which amps to get!

agreed! all JL's would work for you man! i'm not familiar with those speakers, are those rms ratings? Get like a 4x40wat amp from JL or something of that sort for ur mids n highs, and for ur woofers...u can get 2x150watt JL amps and run 0 guage wire from the front to back, and split 4 guage to each of ur amps... ^_^
get 2 smaller amps or a big mono block and bridge ur subs, OR get a huge 2 channel JL amp ^_^ either way...depends on ur taste and whether u want show, performance, function, or all!
if you wanna stay JL, i reccomend a 500/1 for the subs, and a 300/2 for teh fronts, rears run off the deck... also, you dont have to run xr's in the rear, you could step down to the TR or VR series.
if you dont want JL amps, find a decent 600 watt mono amp and a 100x2 2 channel, or a 4 channel if youwant to amp all of them
those jl components sound very very nice with a good 100 watts to them

I'm really just lookin for performance, not show or anything..
Would running te rear off the deck sound good?
500/1 would be good enough for both your subs, underated amp.
I wouldnt recommend running a 75 watts rms speaker off your deck (which really gives about 18-20 watts). I personally like my sound to be equal in the front and rear. Im running components in the front and rear.
^^^ If you want equal sound from front and rear, than that holds true, but Ludlam and I speak from a preference of no rear speakers, thats why he and I would recomend no rears, or off deck power....I hate speakers behind me.

Why dont you guys like rear speakers, could you explain.
Your only using 2 6 1/2" up front, or do you have 6 1/2" plus some kicks?
My bass can easily overpower my mids and highs. thats why i need 2 components sets.
Besides that if you have 2 people in the front, your legs will be blocking most of the sound in the front(speakers in doors), and if you had people in the back they wouldnt hear shit but bass.
I forgot to mention I don't have the stock deck. I got the Alpine 9813. It has an internal amp. I think I will just run the back off the deck and downgrade to the TR series. I am gonna go today and buy some stuff. The speakers at least then later decide on amps maybe..
