so i want an amp 2 give them the best quality sound(a good make 1 aswell)and if fusion make 1 thats wat i want ill have a fusion 1!!!!!!!but now i intend soon b4 the subs!!!!!im buyin:
another set of them fusion 6" components with tweeters wat ive already got!!!!!!
2 sets of fusion 6x9s thats fusion 6x9s X2
maybe 1 set of sony xpold 6x9s out my old astra!!!!!!!
now an amp thats gonna power everythin there that ive said apart from the subs i mentioned!!!now i want that all crystal clear and loud now that should have plenty of bass!!!!!!
but nxt after all that im gonna go 4 2 powerfull good make 12" subs!!!!!!and another separet amp now that surely will make all that bass and crystal clear treble aswell!!!!!!

To be honnest ditch the rockfords out the doors put the components together or u`ll get an odd sound so rockfords where the fusions are in the rear shelf, and the fusions in the front along with the tweeters, If i was you i wouldnt bother with any other full range for the minute, get one 4 channel amp to power all the full range it needs to have a High pass filter an an adjustable crossover would be useful, then id buy a mono block to power the subs, Trust me that would be more than adequate, are the wattage figure ur quoting peak or RMS?

If it is RMS then work on getting an amp that puts out at least half the power of the speakers if not more

£270 cough splutter!! fuckin hell

u dont need a real fancy amp to power your comps mate. for that money there is a sinfoni one for sale on Talkaudio.co.uk and they are worth like £500 or more

to be honest I would get a 4 channel jbl for it or similar level and pay no more than £200 for it. Your speakers are not mega high end ones so you dont need an expensive pheonix gold amp.
