what are you going to use it for?

Subwoofer?

Door speakers?

usually crunch isn't a great brand, but it does function.

MTX is better than Crunch by far. I personally like JL Audio sub amps. A little more expensive but way cleaner output. Very powerful.

Thanks alot, thats true and for the car that its going on I want it to be one of the top brands.

You will also need to switch out the amp on the mids & highs...All of the factory speakers are 2 ohm and replacement drivers are 4 ohm so they will only get half the power. If this is something that you are interested in doing, i can give you a few pointers. Let me know.

For a great 10" sub check out manufacturer "Critical Mass". This is a incredible sub and only requires 1 cu. ft. of air. Either side of the M's trunk is sufficient.

Ok well I was told from a guy at the audio store that If I was to get a 1000 watt amp, that it would just be to much, I would never use that to its max, I would be able to use it for six speakers. So I was thinking of getting a 500 watt amp, a JL Audio 500/1 and 2 200 watt subs. What do u think of that? Can u help me out on this please?

I am still using a rockford fosgate from the late 1980's, whatever brands you look at make sure it feels heavy, in audio equipment the "standards" are more like "variables", a good amp will be fairly heavy, especially if it is higher wattage. I am a big fan of Memphis audio for amps/subs, not sure if they sell them in your area, but definately worth taking a look at, the JL Audio stuff is nice, but a little spendy for what you get. Size kind depends on your music taste, 10's are more Punchy(rock), and 12's go lower,dance etc. The sub enclosure makes a huge difference in how any subwoofer will sound.
