Cruch and the rest of the Maxxsonics products actually. Maxxsonics owns Crunch, MB Quart, Hifonics, and Autotek.

Try Crunch

Thanks, you've been a lot of help. I'll try putting everything together tomorrow, and if I have any more questions I'll be back. Enjoy the holidays.

You will need an amp install kit.

Can buy one from there. Look for one rated at 1000+rms range

Okay, one last question. Beside the 16 ga. speaker wire what else do I need to wire the whole setup? What do I need to attach it to the head unit and to the amp? Thanks for the help, I plan on putting in the setup tomorrow morning early before I head home for winter break.

Alright, thanks...16 it'll be.

^ I agree... but wouldn't go any smaller than 16ga.

16 is fine. Whatever speaker wire you happen to having lying around. It's not going to change anything really.

Thanks everybody, I've narrowed it down to the Alpine or Rockford Fosgate 1000w amp, both should do what I'm looking for. A quick question related to the whole setup...what gauge speaker wire should I be looking for to wire this setup?

I wouldn't buy MA Audio. You can get a 1000W Orion amp for like 300$ on eBay. Doesn't get much cheaper Watt/$ than that... Unless you really start getting cheap. But then you're not getting your bang for the buck anyway. Also, look into a matching Kicker/MTX or maybe an Eclipse amp on eBay or net store.
