CDT Audio, good choice for components?
Ok I am looking into those Autotek amps, they are cheap and people seem to like the quality.
My deck only has 1 RCA output. Can this be used on a 4channel amp for all 4 speakers? Or do I need a front a rear output from my deck.

I would need 2 of these correct?

This is the amp I was looking at, instead of buying a Hifonics. A cheaper amp but I don't need anything crazy just for components and 6x9's.

Thanks for the help guys! Now if I could only find someone to help me do a install. The only place around here is Future Shop. And I don't know if they install products that are not bought in the FS store?

Well, going from those Infiniti's to CDT Classics seems like a lateral move from upgrade point of view, so why waste time and money? It would appear that you're doing this cause you'd like a change. I wish you would rethink this. You could either leave it, or do a worthy upgrade so that you wont come out if it unsatisfied, cause bitterness of poor upgrade will lurk long after the joy of saving money has faded.
Very true, I am scared of upgrading and it not meeting my needs. I am pretty much an audiophile to an extent, and I prefer quality over loudness really.
I plan on ordering the precision power components and using an amp. The only place around here that installs car audio is FS. And you know what they do? They rush like a **** to get the money and get more ppl in. Last time they did a deck install for me they scratched my dash.
It seems I almost have to say "Hey dude, he's an extra 20$ if you take your time and do a good job".
I always stay in the bay and watch them work on my car, Who knows what the s.o.b's would do if I wasn't in there watching.
I wish there was a PRO car audio shop here, because I'd cough up the cash for a professional job.

Good move on getting those PPI's. That is quite a steal. You said you want your trunk, so no sub. You can still have your trunk if you get a single 12" sub and put it in a sealed 1 cubic feet box filled with polyfil, and power it with like 500 watts rms Autotek mono amp. There are lotsa options. Also, S&S Electronics(they are on this forum) from Toronto have two 10" IDQ v3 for sale in either d1 or d2 configuration for $150 cash a pop, and maybe you can pursuade them to ship you one of your choice for extra shipping charges, and one of those subs does not need anything bigger than 1 cube either, and you're rolling in style. BTW, you will need a d2 to match with this amp.
This is the 500 wrms amp:

I have the CL-62 with 1" Silk-dome tweeters in my Grand Prix up front, and think they sound amazing. Very accurate and smooth, can listen to them all day. Definitely more detail in the audio is transferred than the Kappa 50.7CS, I had before.
I had a pair of infinity kappa perfect 6.1 and my friend is with cdt cl62 I could easily tell you that the infinity was superior compared to the CDT but on the other hand it's also a question of sound signature, you realise that Inifnity is on bright even harsh and don't have a lot of midbass and with CDT you will have the complete opposite it will be warm with a bit more midbass.
You should consider what you like more in term of sound characteristic because if you like something very detail and bright CDT isn't for you at least not the CL line.
