its to bad that you dont live around here... i just found an amp that would work great for you... its a ppi tube drive amp... puts out 600 x 1 once you break it down and they only want 350 for it... but check out the alpine v12 amps... Also if you are still set on the altec lansing.. there is another amp out there.. its called interfire that makes all of altec amps... its the same amp just different name.. I have looked over the spec and they look really good... but i havent heard one in a car yet.. but if you are goin to spend that much go with ppi, fosgate, or alpine... those would be your best bet... if you ask me...
