Well hi, im new around this world

Right now i have

KS Series 6.5" Components

KS Series 6.5" Coax

With a nakamichi NGTA 704 amp 4x60 rms (4 ohms)

And the subwoofer is : Planet Audio BB12DVC, 500 watts rms

With a nakamichi NTGD 600.1 at 1x500 (2 ohms)

Well buddy there are a whole lot of factors that go into into your question. Let's start with what are your goals for your music?

Still learning but have started gathering.

Is this stuff even installed and working yet? You don't mention a vehicle or a box type.

Don't get into the "which brand" game until you hear what you have--installed and tuned properly--and see where it is lacking for your tastes.

Although it is a great way to waste money.

Static drops are my bag.

Proper ported box should be fine. Might need some tuning adjustments before spending more money on a sealed box that will yield less output.

Do you like the sound of what you have now? If not, what do you want to change about the sound?

I think i could change the amps for better ones.. or at least get 90 rms per channel.. thoses kickers are 100 rms

Make sure the box is tuned to your liking (I've seen prefabs higher than 60Hz).

Make sure your crossover points are proper, whether you are using the ones in the deck or the ones in the amps.

Do a proper gain setting on your amps with everything set flat.

From there you can make minor adjustments per recording from the head unit depending on what controls you have available. Sub level, bass up a notch or two (at most), etc.

That's where I'd start--maximize everything you already paid for. Only thing it might cost is some new port material (if you can modify the current box) and time.***

***Edit: during that time you will probably learn more about audio and your system in particular than you will asking random dudes on the internet.

Are you wanting to get louder? Sound better? It's a lot easier to give help if you have specific goals in mind

I want it louder, it sounds good but i want it louder,

The amp for the bass its getting to hot and cut like twice a day in less than 30 minutes of music i think i need to change that amp
