Yeah I know they are not the best but I just don't want to mess with a custom. I tend not keep vehicles for very long so I want to be able to remove without leaving a mess.

So what amp would you guys recommend. I will consider all even Ebay specials.

Fosgate amps always offer great bang for the buck reliably and powerfully. The 500 watt ones are really really great, but if u can afford the 800...thats even better...both will be able to light up the thunderforms with the mtx 6000 subs easily...dont forget to get a cap for that....

800x1 on a stock Thunderform will lauch those mtx 6000's right out of the box! 400 to 500 watts RMS x 1 is as far as I would go.

concept 2400 class D. fits under the passenger seat and pumps out 2800 watts at 1 ohm with a true 14.4 volts! Only 540 bucks from www.nexxon.com. They also make smaller amps but might as well go all out and have a keeper!

Rockford amps aren't as quality as they used to be. They make good power but they're not that efficient.

I've actually heard some good things about JBL amps. And they are cheap as ***** these days!!

You might also try:

JL
Kicker
Alpine

and other brands. And if you have the $$$:

McIntosh
Zapco

Does anyone have any experience with US Acoustic amps? I have seen them in the Crutchfeild catalogs for a while now, and their specs seem really good; especially for the price.

I did some quick research online, and only came up with positive reviews.
