I've kinda been out of the game for a bit but now I'm back

[pervitizm]

I been gone from the car audio scene for a while now. Had to deal with a divorce and now that its about to finally come to an end I wanted to do something for me. Instead of spending all this money on lawyers and legal stuff I want to blow some of it on some new gear.

I want to move away from the multiple amp ( 3 or more) setups and do a powerful dual amplifiers system. I'm thinking 1 powerful multi-channel for the mids and highs and a single powerful mono for the subs. I'm about to finally order my second alternator and bracket for the burban and I'll probably replace my yellowtops with some powermasters.

So what I was looking for is what out there that I can run that will match up with what I'm thinking about doing, which by the way I want to continue with my dual 18's setup. I'm thinking of either sticking around with DC, or I may finally try some Fi BTLs and as far as sub amp, something like a DC 9k or 12K. I'm not sure I need to do some research on both of them to see what is what. I may even be willing to do quad 18's on lower end subs like instead of level 5 DCs running 4 of the level 4s. And this was why I posted in here cause I don't know what else is out there amplifier wise I should be looking at doing besides DC. I know that Cresendo is out there and of course the tried and true big names (RF, and Kicker), but are there others out there I should be looking at?

What about batteries? I currently have three in the burban right now and I would like to know if going with something like a 9k how many more would I need in order to get maximum efficient performance out of the amp? Not looking to do any official sound offs or comps, just my own daily ground pounder.
