Ok can you list the actual RMS rating for these speakers.

And if you plan on putting 10's and 12's together in the trunk. Bad idea. One or the other.

All 4 dpa put out 460 max or 460rms>?

the dpa max at 460 im not sure abou the rms of those speakers

i know the kicker have a rms of 150

but why chose between the too they are essentially the same speaker just different sizes?

sorry to be nit pickey i just am currently running these off receives in my room and they work no problem together

but your gonna be putting them in a enclosed trunk the subs emit different waves which will end up fighting each other. Go with one or the other for the trunk.

230 RMS for the Dpa so each speaker is about 60rms

So you need a 4channel amp that runs about 75rmsx4

And get your self a 300.1 mono amp for your subs and call it a day.

Speakers aren't what you should be worried about drawing current from your car electrical. Yes it's an end factor, but the amplifier is what you should be concerned with.
