    i haven't got the old RF flyer on hand --- at school right now and all i can get into is the new rf website --- but... maybe some general ideas would help...

    RF makes a good product, so their amps in general should be fine for ya...

    secondly -- aim for 125 - 150 (or more if you've got the juice) on the momo components per channel.

    forthe momo 12" subs -- shoot for 450 to 650 per subwoofer... you can get away with like 350 on the 12 but its really underpowering it.... but you can get away with it.. you probalywont be "really happy" with less than 400+ though.

    hope that throws ya at least somewhere near the right directon.

    :)

    my mid amp is 62.5 x 4 and my sub amp is 350 x 2 but that one was bench tested at 842 so i think i should be ok with it....my bigget concern is with the type of box to use for my subs....

    you cant...well youre not supposed to go with a vented box
    a solid made sealed box with 3/4" mdf will do great

    ya the bench test is what matters.. shade under 850 is fine, that still gives u a healthy 420+ to each one...

    far as speaker power -- if u're happy with how it sounds once u got it in no need to change it... if u're not... it shouldn't be too hard to swap out just one amp. nothin major :)

    far as a box -- go listen to some other ppl's cars that have good quality woofers in sealed boxes and then some in BP's... try to stray away from junk woofers on either side that way you get a semi-fair comparison and then try and think that it is that you want your vehicle to do exactly.
