New set-up possibiltys

Well Im bored with my volfenhag's and I want to redo my whole entire system. Its my birthday so Im making some money for bday presents and I wanna do new subs, amps, and a deck. I love my infinity speakers so those are staying. So my questions for you guys are:

How many amps should I run for 2 subs, speakers, and a compressor for my air ride?

I was thinkning JL audio for the subs, but I don't know which one is the best, like 10w7 or whatever? I was also looking at infinity subs, anyone have any pro's or con's?

Im looking into the sony mdx9905x.

Also what wires do you guys reccomend. RCA's, Remote, power. Is there a brand that kicks ***?

I have a budget of around 800, maybe more depending on how much I get for my bday.

OR....

I might save and down the line do a carputer, relocated my deck and run a slim ps2, and then upgrade the sound later...What do you guys think.

Also anyone know any good sites for carputers so I can do some research on the topic. Thanks for any help guys.

You're not going JL with an 800 budget, not W7's anyway...

So who's he stealing it from? I can get it at dealer cost and can't replace everything with JL for $800 dollars. They don't mark their product up all that much. If it's stolen stuff, I'd suggest asking for help elsewhere such as www.thugforums.com or something.

Good luck finding any subs that are louder and clearer for the price of Infinity's Kappa Perfect 12.1 sub.
to save money and get tons of quality get a deck like this one by alpine.


Or if you absolutly love alpine they have an EXCELLENT priced complete system that you could get for $1000. excellent price, excellent quality, clean bass.

Diskreet, I'd put money on the fact you've never listened to a W7. Listen to one of those then get back at me with your claim on subs being louder and cleared than the Infinity.

for the sound:
JL > Infinity
but for the money:
JL < Infinity

and anything sony is garbage, don't even consider it.

"for the money" I said! W7 is like WAY out of the infinity price range!!! Yes ive heard W7 and almost traded in my 2 W3v2s for a 12" one but id rather the 2 10s. i know its like the best sub ever so far but for the price 2 infinity subs, even the Perfect VQ's are cheaper and maybe a little clearer but a little quieter!

Yeah I am leaning towards the inifinty's, Im gonna be running 2 or 4 subs cant decide yet. One question that I still have though is the amount of amps I will need. Im wanting it to be really well done so I can be done with it, until I get bored again.

4 is too much especially on your budget. alot of small costs pop up when doing these things; wires, more wires, even more wires, connections, etc. 2 subs can easily be powered b 1 amp. you can wire 2x 4ohm infinity kappa perfect 12.1's to 2 ohms total and just get a decent amp that puts out 550-750 watts RMS at 2 ohms.
