    Now...JL Audio and Kicker make badass amps. ADS made sweet shit too, but they went under (My dad's truck has a 6-channel ADS amps with ADS mids and tweeters, and 2 x Kicker 6" subs behind the seats).

    If you have two subs, I'm assuming you'll bridge all four channels to power the subs (so the power is "split"), you'll be fine.

    You don't really need a 4-channel amp, but whatever...
    Well for under $25 bucks you can get some awfully sharp hard drive coolers and other computer parts. They run on 12v so can be hard wired right in and you'll need to do a little bit of case modding to the amp but you can get them running on a nice cool temp.

    This one is $9... Drops HD temps by 30*

      Now are audio sponsor is that out of Michigan or is a website and there out of like Georgia or something?

      And with people telling you to go to an audio store. Depending on the price if you look and get recommendations at audio stores maybe check at places like best buy and see if they have the same one any cheaper. Also if your not looking for a huge high end bumpin system to go and win comps with... Hit up pawn shops. I mean everything there is probably stolen but hey... you can get some decent equipment from them and a lot of times there in decent boxes two...Or at least around here.

        Okay I think I know what I am aiming for. I'll probably pick one up in a few weeks. Until then, I think Santa might have something nice for me.

        Thank you all for the suggestions!

            Hard Drive coolers are too small. I'd flat out build a shroud and get a pair of 120mm, or bigger computer fans.

              All of the problem with some of the 120mm is they start getting louder. the hard drive coolers well atleats the two that i have a extremely quite and keep everything runnign very cool. Thats what i've seen on quite a few amps are hard drive coolers or making them liquid cooled.

                It depends on the fans you get.

                Vantec makes stealth fans, I've had one on the front of my case (120mm)for about 2 years now, and it is still silent, and flows pretty decent.

                When using case fans you have to get ball/2-ball bearing fans.

                Sleeve bearings go out quick - that's what loud fans use.
