    Maybe an amp from your Connex source?

    I would stick with a Dual Final radio, something like the Connex 3300 or General Lee, and get a 4-pill Amp to go with it...Then you'll be able to swing in the 500 to 600w range easily...Or go with a 1x4 or 2x4 amp, and get in the 900 to 1000w range!

    Thanks now when running these amps do i need to hook up any other power source to run all of this or will the normal power setting be enough?

    All Amps should be hardwired directly to the batteries.
    150-250 use 8ga w/ 40amp fuse
    250-500 use 6 ga w/60 amp fuse

    Always use crimped or soldered connections,never use black tape.

    If you are looking for Messenger amps talk to Stringbean379 in San Diego California. He knows Ray (the guy who builds them) personally.
