Its me again last post i named alot a different amps i want to try and you guys basicly told me they all were crap.  So I am taking your advice and is buying the jbl 1200.1 I found it at a local custom stereo shop.  So before I buy I just want to make sure this is the right amp for me.  I have two Ma audio 150XE 15"s4 ohm dvc.  And could anyone give me a diagram on how i should hook my speakers up to the amp for maximum power without blowing my subs thanks guys I cant wait.

Here ya go...

The MA150XE's are 450RMS 900Peak. The JBL BP1200.1 produces 1200 x 1 @ 1 and 2 ohms (based on a 14.4volt electrical system). Reality in the 12volt world is apx 1000 x 1 @ 1 and 2 ohms. You'll be getting apx. 500watts per sub. You wont have to worry about blowing the subs, but you might have to replace your alternator if the current draw becomes too much (indicated by the headlights dimming with the bass beat).

Wire in parallel for a 1ohm total load like this...
