My ride is a 2005 Honda element.
The alternator puts out 105amps and i'm getting an optima(yellow battery). Just thought this info might help for choosing an amplifier.

Radio 1 x JVC KW-XR810
Speakers 4 x Pioneer TS-G1643R 6-1/2" (30w-RMS x 180w-MAX)2-way
Subwoofer 1 x ROCKFORD FOSGATE 10" (150w-RMS x 300w-MAX)
Total system RMS power 270w. Total MAX power 1020w.(Disregard max power since thats probably not the true MAX.)
Sub enclosure 1 x Scosche Se10 10-Inch Sealed Subwoofer Enclosure
Amplifier 1 x ??? i need a 5 channel amp from EBAY or AMAZON

If there is anything that i might be missing let me know....
I will get the correct inline fuse and cables after i find out which amplifier I'm getting.

to some no, to installers and audio shops yes,  it takes some of their customers away, no shop can compete with ebay,

sorry about my spelling today,

check out hifonics 5 channel it should power your system fine, cant think of the model number right now, but just try to match your speakers rms with the amps, its okay to have a amp with  higher rms rating than the speakers,

200 bucks you're gonna be hard pressed to find a five channel amp that doesn't suck.  Alpine's PDX5 is a great small five channel.. JL makes quite a few five channels as well that are quality
