I spent all last night removing my amp, and sub from my system. I have a pioneer deh-4100 and 4 speakers (US Acoustics). First off, my engine was overheating with the sub hooked up. Strange...
I hooked the sub up, engine overheats. I take it off, no over heat. I did this about ten times for a couple of days. Wierd. I'll never buy a pep boys battery again. It looks like an optima will have top be shoved in there. The amp is useless with out the sub. The speakers sound better by them selves without the amp. Anyway, I took it all out. Man, I can't wait to get another battery. This absolutely SUCKS! I am so use to "brain stem loosening" bass and soul crushing midrange/highs, that the receviers power is not even worth listening to unless your not moving. I swear, it sounds great in the garage. But once you get up to speed on the road with the windows down, and sunroof open, you can't hear SH*T! I have some questions.
#1 Can everyone post what they got? So we can see who has what gear and what they think of it. Maybe even plans for more upgrades and so on. What type of music, etc.
#2 What batteries do your guys use? Anyone who upgraded? If so, what battery did you upgrade to? How much CCA, Amperage rating?
Im running two fosgate amplifiers (Punch 160a2 and a Punch 250a2), The 160a2 is pushing A Kappa Perfect component set (2 6.5's and 2 tweeters) and also Kappa 6x9 3ways, the 250a2 is pushing a JL 12w6, everything is running off of a Clarion DRX9575Rz head unit.its a real sweet setup and the sound is everything i wanted. Only took me about 2 months to get everything the way i wanted =) As for the battery its a Pro Start...

I don't have this system now but should around Christmas: Pioneer P-7200(organic display), Pioneer 3-way 6.5's up front and 3-way 5.25 in the back, Crunch V-Drive 150c powering one 12" Ultimate Sub. And after haveing that for a while I will get a 4 channel Crunch amp to power my speakers. Hopefully my sub will be mounted in a custom fibereglass enclousure on the right side of the trunk (like JL's box for our cars)

Nevermind the system I explained above. I got a Crunch power Series 2100 amp and DHD 500 watt 12" sub in a bandpass box today and it bumps good. By Christmas I should have a Pioneer 5200 headunit, and if I get enough money, i will also get some speakers to replace my stock ones.

Here's mine and most added within the last 2wks. MB Quart DSD216 6.5" components in the doors. MB Quart DKC 6.5" coaxials in the rear. One JL Audio 10W3 stealth box sub. Head unit is a Panasonic DFX150U, Sony in dash X-over, MTX Thunder 302 amp driving the main speakers and one (old) Hifonics Vulcan driving the sub. Only thing left to do is replace the Hifonics with another MTX Thunder 302 amp and replace the JL 10W3 with an Infinity Perfect 10.
