Dude! I have that EXACT same amp! Let me tell you...

IT - KICKS - ***

I'm powering 2 Kicker CompVR 12's and 2 3-way Infinity Kappa 6x9's with it, and couldn't be happier. Just be sure to get a cap, I can't really turn it up too loud at night due to excessive headlight dimming Where are you going to mount it? It fits LIKE A GLOVE all the way in the back, all the way on the bottom; in fact, it barely fits, but I bolted it down in there and have my subs covering it (it has a vent to breathe), it got hot once and shut off for a couple minutes, but I'm really happy with it there.

thanks for the compliments. i still need a set of speakers for the rear and my amp for my subs. was gonna get a KX 600.1 but that was discontinued and if i can still get the cash together ill just get the 1200.1 its about the same size as the 800.4 so they will look better.

they look like q-logics, they should be made specially for camaros so the fit should be great. http://mmxpress.com/qlogic.html personally i think you could build better ones yourself in about a week and it would cost you a lot less

yes they are qlogics. i dont know how well they sound as they wont be installed until this spring when i take the car out of storage. yes you could make your own but i have no clue how to fiberglass and i have no intention to learn. im not an audiophile i just want an awsome sounding car.

How much did that amp cost you? I am looking for something to push 2 HE2 DVC's.

That's probably too much amp for me, but maybe a smaller output kicker?
