And he had 4 15" L7s on 7K and only hit 143?? I hit 148 with two DD 8's on 6k...but that's not what the OP is after.

I really like the Alpine PDX 5 channel amps and the JL HD series 5 channel is also a great choice in a FRS/BRZ. Try to keep a small, lightweight footprint that doesn't tax the factory electrical system too hard.

Don't waste money on a cap...junk!! If you're really pulling a lot of juice, install a second battery (small one) near the amp. It adds a little weight but the difference is huge when compared to a cap. My last suggestion, if you care at all about the handling characteristics of your car, keep all the equipment as low as possible. If you can ditch the spare tire and build your enclosure and amp rack (and any processors or power distribution) below the factory floor you won't notice a difference in handling. The idea is to keep a low center of gravity. If you want something that hits hard and still fits in the spare well, go with a JL TW5 woofer. Its a 13" sub with 7" voice coil and only 3.5" deep or so... Some nice components and a proper 5 channel amp with levels and crossovers matched up nicely should really jam is such a small car.
