It's the audiobahn ABP10. Dual 10" bandpass system, 600 watts RMS, and it says impedence: 4 OHM stereo
I don't know much about car audio, and don't need a competition system. I just want a lil' more thump from my trunk. What power amp would you recommend? I also got an aftermarket HU and replaced my stock speakers with some kicker K60's. They run 45-65 watts RMS so I was gonna get an Rockford Fosgate 400.4 amp and run them at 50X4, but I don't have the amp yet. Anything I should know about before I finish off the system?

so I should get a 600 watt amp for the subs and the 500 watt amp (62.5 X 4) for the 6.5's right? I'm not clear on what you're saying to run the off of the 500.1

thank you for the help
