    I bought them from dealers that had them in their cars and that stood behind the product they sold to me. The Fosgates, I was lucky to find them on Craigslist here in town. I went to the guys house and picked them up. See I can answer your question, but you never answered mine. You seem to talk without really knowing, do your own research, read before you start spouting diarrhea of the mouth. I stated what I had & you posted your bs without even knowing. Good gear can be had at good prices, both new and used, you just have to know where to look. Most of my gear has been purchased new & from authorized dealers by the way. I wanted to point out these options to the person that started this thread, and I gave some examples.

    Are you going to answer the question or not? You spouted a lot of bs, but no answers so far.

    when i made that statment right after your power post i wasn't refering to your post. nor kinetic's on zapco(of course). i actually just noticed u typed "power" in that post but really i don't think i even read it till now. SO sue me!! my point wasn't even that cadence is so great(although they r) but just at her price point, can't be beat, we know max, unless used...speaking of, where might 1 find used authorized components??

    thanks

    The amp you mentioned is a good start. I've run several Fosgate amps & was happy with them all. Never had any issues with them. I also like Kicker, they make good amps.

    Keep in mind there are several amps out there which will meet your needs and ones which will not meet your needs. I say research all the suggested amps and understand your required specs for your speakers.

    Crutchfield has a very nice deal on a couple of Kicker amplifiers, the SX600.2 and the SX600.1. Both are nice amps, a little older, but hard to beat at the price of $299. They use to sell for $650. You may want to pick up a couple of the two channels, you won't be able to get all the power from the mono amp with the ohm configuration on your subs. Those are a tad under rated so be conservative with the gains on your mids.

    You have speakers with dual 4ohm voice coils. The mono Kicker amp, the SX650.1 (I wrongly said 600.1 earlier) will produce full power at 2ohms. Your subs can be wired together at 1ohm, 4ohms, and 16ohms. Seeing that you will not extract all the power from that amp, you may want to look at the two channel as it will give you full power at 4ohms bridged.

    The Kicker SX650.1. They have some returned ones that are even a little less, at $269 and $255.

    Kicker SX600.2 at $299, they also have some returned ones that $269 and $255.

    Here is one that's a little more, the SX900.2 ($399), but I thought I would mention it. They have one for $339 from their scratch and dent store. This puppy will give you a over 900 watts RMS.

    Even if you go the returned route, or the scratch and dent route, you will have a full warranty because they are authorized dealers. If you went with the scratch and dent models you could pick up two of the SX600.2's for $510. That's one heck of a deal for those amplifiers.
