So if I have one sub for my speakers and one for my subs, do I wire the amps together as one or individually to the head unit?

Edit: I got a real good deal on the Power Acoustik Stax serious amps, the 1600/4 channel amp and the mono amp and here that you can connect them

You would run the power to a distribution block and then to the individual amps. You can do the same thing, essentially, for the "turn on" (actual name escapes me right now) wire. You would have to run RCA's from the head unit to the amps for not only subs, but the front and rear speakers. Then you'll have to run speaker wire to your speakers.

Do you have 1 amp for subs and one amp for speakers?

Depending on the sub and the size of amp, I would disagree with you here. The capacitor can really help the system out as a whole.

True it would but it would just add a danger in a jeep I believe those things store a lot of electricity and in a topless vehicle I wouldn't think that'd be the best option, the best option would be an alternator Upgrade but that's very expensive, my 500 watt sub amp handles well without a capacitor but it would probably be a lot better with one

But if the sub is under 500 I feel like it will handle fine

Very true, but this is also the reason wi personally don't see a reason to put a big stereo in a Jeep.

Insane Audio

I just installed the Insane Audio head unit and I can say it is badass! It fits just like a factory unit with no mods. Comes with onroad and offroad navigation and has a ton of other features. I haven't tested the off-road maps yet but I will next weekend.

I like my music too, but the top end stock stereo is pretty damn good for stock. I'm not a huge fan of a lot of bass anymore. I prefer to actually hear my music.

I'm with you I can hear my mids and highs perfectly I think it's partly because of the location of the tweeters
