All I found was an 800W rating into 4 Ohm x2.
The Watts seems to be music power, hence 400W RMS or less.
(400WRMS means its fuse would probably be 40A or less, but it could be as high as 45A or 50A.)

My definition of power = you can never have too much if it. Get the 95 amp unit.

I agree.
Unless there is a big difference in price.
The only way to know if you need a bigger alternator is to see - hence why a voltmeter is excellent.
(And definitely one with an internal regulator - but I think 91 Escorts had that anyhow.)

Found out who made them the subs and amp are Directed Audio Xtreme and from what i can see are not made anymore. So now im looking for a good cheap set of 400 rms 12's

Try Infinity Reference, that's what I put in my son's car and they have rocked for 2 years so far. I am putting some in a Neon soon also which will be run by an Infinity reference 600 watt amp into 2ohm
I have a set of those Xtreme 12's in my car going on 5 or 6 years now and they still sound great, I think they were made by Orion, who I think sold out to Directed, I had a Xtreme amp too but it died so I went with TMA ------------- 2004 Hyundai Sonata

@ 04nata Did the chrome on the amp start to peel over time before it died?

My take on your last question. If the amp will accept a 4 AWG wire, use one. The side effect of using too small of a wire is heat. If you attempt to draw more current than the wire can handle, it will heat up the terminal block and probably melt it out of the circuit board.
