i was looking for someone that has done it allready.. so they might give me a heads up on the problems they ran into, such as the way the wire were run from the factory, any funky australian conectors, or interior clips,ect ??? if adding a new amp and speakers signifigently helped ??sometimes the problem is in the head unit????

Definitely JL! All my splits are JL. I have an Eclipse in-dash DVD flip-out. All components inside are powered by JL. Sounds incredible!

not many amps can handle that kind of load. Orion is known for it and my amp in particular was banned from IASCA competition because you could enter the 0-50 watt class and actually put out 400! Hence them naming it the cheater amp.

Of course, you dont really NEED a 4 channel amp as with the right wiring, you can run an entire system off a 2 channel amp and all you lose is front to rear fading...

nope, I scored a 34 out of a possible 40 with that amp, and had this one sole amp running 22 speakers. It also did a best of 142db in a sound-off. Sounded better than the factory system, never overheated, and I wired the entire thing myself.
