yeah I'm starting to think I should have wait for the new unit.. even if its expensive, it might lower the price on the 7995.

thanks for some of the suggestion... I think I'll need a 4 channel amp at least for my friend's car...

thanks for that offer. let me consider it a bit.

any other suggestions will greatly be appreciated.

btw amp will probably be mated with stock speakers for now.. but might grab some medium grade speakers in the future.

aim in sound is... nothing loud, more in SQ than SPL.
