Which Amp?

Currently I got a set of Kicker CVR 12's, dvc. They're running on a Jensen LXA300 amp. Pretty old and crappy, so it's time for an upgrade (after using the amp for a few years lol) They're also in a sealed box.

I did some research recently and I'm gonna go with a JBL GTO1201.1 amp. 787watts x1 @ 4ohms. The subs are rated 800watts RMS total. So I'm thinking since it's for daily driving, that'll be plenty. The amp will be around $300 including s&h on ebay. Would anyone recomend this amp, or know a better/cheaper one?

While I'm asking for advice,  I'm gonna upgrade the door speakers. I found some CDT EF-61. Would anyone recomend CDT's or something better/cheaper? I just need some extra opinions before I go making final decisions. Of course i'll be adding a 2nd amp for these. I'll probably go with an Alpine, Kicker, Fosgate, etc. amp. One of the good brands since it doesnt have to be all that great for the components. (Unless anyone has other advice please let me know)

I'm sure if the amp upgrade, I'll be needing a few layers of deadening since the amp I got now does alot of rattling. Can anyone point me to a site that sells some cheap but good deadening? The only thing I've found is B-Quiet.

I'll be getting a 4gawg wire/amp kit, but what I need to know is, whats a good size speaker wire to use? For the subs and components?

So all in all, do you think I'm going in the right path for a good sounding system for daily driving? Money isn't an issue but I dont want to spend a fortune. If anyone else needs any other info, let me know.

Thanks.

thezeb.com's special on EF-series componets is probably one of the best deals around, 'specially for $200.  CDT stuff is absolutely awesome.  

Speaking of thezeb.com.... this little amp has been real popular lately..

You couldn't do worse for twice the money.  I just bought one.

As far as a JBL amp?  I'd get behind the amp but not the source.  For my cash, I'd drop a little more and remove that old adage.. eh.. "caveat emptor" ..... on the other hand if you don't know what that means you prolly won't care anyway eh?!

Nice amp.  I've always liked JBL stuff.

Speaker wire size doesn't matter at all.  I'd link to calculator but I'm getting tired.  Trust me.

4-gauge wire sounds like it'd run those two amps lickety-split eh?

Yea man that system will sound great.  Like Tony the Tiger on Nickelodeon.  That good eh?  As good as Frosted Flakes. 

*Great*

Ok, here's some more questions I'm concerned about.

If I get that USacoustics amp for the components, should I get another amp kit for it, or how would that work? (I've never hooked up 2 amps before other than seeing people run 2 different kits to the battery). I plan on putting the 2nd amp beside the 1st amp in the trunk. So running speaker wire to the amp in the trunk sounds like a pain in the @$$.

If I had two amps, do you think a batter/alt upgrade would be needed?

IMO I like having sound coming from the rear, so I gotta have speakers in the rear. I could remove the 6.5 speakers in the rear and just use the holes for bass to travel through. But if I left my pioneer speakers in the rear and just keep them ran to the deck, would that be ok or would it ruin the sound? (Which I rather do) or should I get some better/cheaper speakers and just run them to the deck?

I think that's all the questions I have.

Thanks again.

Do you have a link to where it shows me how to took up 2 amps, and add a distro. block?

and i dont think theres a point in running my rear speakers off an amp. so that 2channel us acoustics amp is perfect for those cdts. when i get it all installed and i dont see a point or hear the rears, i'll just unhook them.

Here's what I got down so far that I'm getting.

JBL GTO amp (for subs)

So am I missing anything?

Thanks again.

Another thing I'm confused about, is the wiring option for a 4ohm load.

For the single wire ran to the neg. to pos. is it "dot to no dot" or "dot to dot" ?

I thought it was "dot to not dot" but I've heard both now.
