I think the ideal solution would be to find Class D amp that can fit where the Infinity amp would be.

Does anyone know anything about the Precision Power P900.4?

The xd series amps by jl are tiny and should fit where the factory infinity amp goes. Actually with one of those you could about put it anywhere.

Yeah, I was looking at that JL and the Alpine PDX, but that Precision Power looks like a lot of power for the money.

You should definayley think about going the Alpine route. Great amp for a mini. I got 600 watts. Sounds great.

I agree. Alpine makes great products. I have used them for years. Great sound and quality. And they last

I use to run a PP AX400 and it was awesome. I am a RF fan and run two in the Jeep.

I wished you lived in Louisiana, I'm thinking of making the change to MM's but would love to test them first. No one in town offers them. I want to replace the front with MM's, put the db6501 in sound bar, and put the db651 that are in the sound bar in my boat.

Also you going to run all new wires eventually?

I would not cut and splice into the factory wiring. The connectors are cheap and available. Of course if you decide to add an amp, you won't need to worry about it anyway.
