Few Audio Questions
First off, what range should I have my amp set to? The Hz i mean...
Second, Im currently running 2 Infinity Kappa Perfect 10.1d's off a Kenwood ps200 amp. It is 650 Watt max amp, my subs are RMS 350 max, with 1400 watt peak. My system is hitting pretty hard now, do you think if I get a higher wattage amp it will hit alot harder/sound better?

are these you amps specs?
Model Number: KAC-PS200
Description : 400 WATT 2 CHANNEL AMPLIFIER - 2 x 100 Watts RMS @ 4 Ohms, 2 x 150 Watts RMS @ 2 Ohms, Variable Low Pass Crossover, Tri-Mode Operation, Noise Supression Filter, Capacitor Storage, Stereo/Mono Operation, Variable Input Sensitivity, RCA Inputs/Outputs, Brushless Cooling Fan, Dimensions: 12 3/8" x 11 3/4" x 2 3/16".
you should prolly set the crossover, to start out with, to a lowpass crossover at about 100 hz and from there ajust a needed from what you hear.
getting a more powerful amp may get your subs louder, but before you do that i would suggest that you optimize what you have now and you might be happy without spending more dough. the #1 priority is car audio is installation. make sure the box has the correct amount of airspace and is tightly sealed. also, make sure you gains are set correctly, because the gains are not a volume control *** like everyone thinks. you could also, if it is possible with you box, try and play with the angle of the subs, some people swear it makes all of the difference in the world.
i dont know what the laws are in NJ, but in Texas (i believe), the only windows that have a tint specification is the windshield and front windows, so that i am allowed to paint my back window black or tint it with limo tint if i want. check the laws online or with a certified car inspector. i have one of the curtains and i love it, i would suggest one if you can find one. you can hide whatever you want under there.
good luck.
