Importance of Amp Kit/Amp question
I have installed Infinity Kappa 50.9cs and Infinity Kappa 682.9cf in my truck. The cs can handle up to 85, while the cf can handle up to 100rms. I have boiled down between these two amps: The Rockford Fosgate P400-4 and the Infinity Reference 475A. I am down to these: http://www.crutchfield.com/App/Produ...O804E&g=347050
All push out 75x4, except last is 80x4. But I see the rockford has a bass boost, which would y'all recommend? Other recommendations welcomed.
Other question: How important is the amp wiring kit? I cannot remember the kit best buy installed last time, but it was not too expensive. Which would be recommended? I figure if I'm spending money for them to install an amp, might as well get it done right the first time. Thanks!

I don't see the P400 in that comparison? Just see the prime version, which is the lower grade version of the P400.

I previously owned one of these and liked how much bass it the speakers gave off with it.. not sure how much the bass boost helped? I'm just wondering if it is powerful enough or should I go with one of the others. I saw where it 50x4 rms power output and 100x4 at 2 ohms. Which one is used to power speakers?

Your speakers should have their impedance (rated in ohms) on the back. If not, search your speakers on crutchfield and they will tell you whether they are 2 or 4ohm.
Honestly, to get the best bang for the buck. I would look at this one. Its the top of the line Rockford Power Series.

So what exactly does that mean? Do I have to buy certain wires or something?
