The current plan for upgrades:

New 10.1 Android HU
Clarion EQ 655
Helix or Mosconi 8 channel minimum DSP

Front stage upgrades:
Hertz Mille Legend 165.3 components
Hertz Mille Legend 700.3 3" mid-range

Rear fill upgrades:
Hertz Mille Pro 6.5' 2 way coaxials

Sub stage upgrades:
4 DC Audio Level 3 12s
5k amplifier
Net 5-5.5 cube enclosure tuned to 33hz. Double baffle 3/4 MDF

Electrical upgrades:
320-370 amp alternator
2nd run of 2/0 to rear. Both runs direct from alternator.
Add 2nd ground from alt to battery
12 volt 96ah headway (convert 24 volt, 48ah beast)

I think I wanna go with higher end amps given that I'm upgrading to Mille Legend. I want to be able to show them when the trunks open.

I'm open to ideas. They need to fun at least 100 rms for 4 channels and at least 80 rms for the other 4. And offer a matching 5k option.

Given that this is still in the planning stage, I'm open to options and any feedback. The goal is to take what I've learned so far and improve.

That desire for a matching 5K is going to hamper what you're trying to do in my opinion and you'll run into a situation like this where having big power from a quality set of amplifiers is going to cost an arm and a leg. That said, what I've linked lines right up with what you're trying to do. After that I think it's a situation where you look elsewhere for not quite as "high end" amps.

You also could always find some dope amps that can feed your front and rear stage with good power and are higher end and just try to match colors with a more SPL specific amp setup...(i.e. these 2 Gladen 4 channels and a Sundown Salt 4 which really puts out 5k on the dyno, they also offer another Gladen 4 channel that offers higher power in 4 channels but for more money Gladen XL 150C4 4-Channel 900W RMS XL Series Amplifier (woofersetc.com) )

Sorry if it doesn't offer much help on that end, figured I'd try.

Dude that's awesome. And probably the way that I'm going.

FYI one Taramps TS 400 blew. They offering me a trade in on the ts 800 with credit but I'm gonna let that go.

Also ...

I took apart the window motors and fixed them. They're still working as of this post.

I'm down to 6.5 in the front. The amp that blew was the one with the 3.5 and the tweets. Still sounds decent though.

The box is done for. It's leaking out of every side, every joint, the port... Dude it's bad. I can't build another for the moment though because I'm moving. The bass and the rattle be having a sound off. I have to keep it at 25 percent or.... Rattles.
