New vid of my System,Got new Amp,1600 W Crunch

My old system was just powered by a 300 W Rockford Fosgate Amp
I now have a Crunch GPV 1600.4 Amp. GPV= Ground Pounder Series. Its a 4 channel rated at 1600 W RMS. I have the subs wired to 2 ohms. Its only getting about 500-600 W to each sub. Once i get the subs i want they will be getting 800 each at 2 ohms. Heres some more info on the system
JVC kh-lh300 Stereo
Alpine 4x6 Speakers in dash and Pillars
Mid-bass Legacy 6 Inch Speakers in Pillars
Custom Sub Box
Two 10 inch MB Quart Discus Subwoofers
Powered by Gator 4 gauge wire.
The subs hit hard now! They shake the mirrors all around,and it actually shakes my exhaust enough for it to rattle like a tin can. The seats feel like massaging seats haha. Im 17 So dont be like WHAT A WASTE. I love it(:
Tell me what you think. And for those of you that dont get why the subs seem so quiet when i open the hatch,its because its open to air. The sound waves are escaping. I just wanted to show what the whole box looked like.

Understand that your amp won't produce the 'peak' power rating of 1600w. 800w max is more realistic.

Why are you using a 4 channel amp bridged to run your subs?

i to went away from rockford fosgate to crunch amps and never looked back.

the reason to go to a 4 channel is to bridge the channels down to prolly 2ohm.

Why not go with a mono amp that is 2 ohm stable?

I know its not peak.. i was just stating that its 1600 RMS. i know thats not what its getting. Not even close. And because i got a good deal on it,and its a great amp. I love the set up of it. Ive always liked 4 channel amps better than the 2 ohm stable ones. And im running it bridged to get more power to each sub.i have them on their own seperate channels
