2 channel or 4 channel?

[nismotrinidappa]

if u want to install a "average" system:

1 -2 subs
2- 4 mids speakers (6x9 and 6.5)
pair of tweeters..

what would be the recommended amp to use?

does a 2 channel push this efficently? or a 4 channel would be better....


also

[Sully]

with the number of speakers you want to use you should be looking for a 5 or 6 channel amp.

[trini_ravi]

use 2 amps....

2 ch for mids- check ravestarfx i think he have lightning audio like $400. cyar get better than that.


and ah mono block or another 2ch bridged for bass.

reason beeing the subs would need more power.

i agree ^^^

do the correct thing in d beginning ....

[nismotrinidappa]

so i could get two of the lightning audio 2 channel amps then? one for mids and one bridged for bass?

would this amp be good for for a pioneer sub? i interested in the 305 /306 dvc pioneer model( or someting like dat?

IMo - i say dat only good 2 power 2 speakers like dem in ur 2 front doors or 2 6x9 in d back

monoblock amps r better suited 4 subs ......

ok mr rovin...was a decent monoblock to use for 1 306 sub...goin in a hatchback do space is an issue..and a good price too?

[- Rovin's car audio -]

If u intend 2 keep ur system very simple like 2 front door speakers & 1 sub in rear u can use a 4 chan amp , 2 chans running up front & 2 chans powering sub

If u intend 2 run more than 2 speakers then get a 4 chan & a monoblock

monoblock amp : look 4 a reputable brand (2 suit ur budget of course) that does 500wrms

SINGLE coil 306 u have - then ur amp needs 2 b 500wrms @ 4 ohms

DOUBLE coil 306 u have - then ur amp needs 2 b 500wrms @ 2 ohms

If by chance u need a box build - check meh sig below...........

well i have no music now...wat i have i not goin to use again...
wat i lookin at is..
four speakers for d front
( tweeters may not be needed if i have good front speakers 6.5 rite?)
and sub in the rear..

so u sayin i need a 4 channel for d mids.....cool
and a class d for d sub...
wat other sub n amp combo u reccomend....i feel gettin a amp to push 500 rms go be too expesive for me rite now..


BTW i go check u for d box

[- Rovin's car audio -]

way dem mods here sleeping boy -

budgetwise like i said above a 4 chan amp powering 2 fronts (like 2 6.5" coax) & 1 12" pioneer 306 sub is d most economical

use d PM feature nah & we go work up a plan .......

[fuzz_174]

Brand new Total mobile audio (jl audio) 5001 monoblock

500 rms @ 2ohms

$1350 new with warranty (comes with bass remote)

...........actually u can get a 4 channel amp to do exactly what u want..... 1 sub and 4 mids. Get a 4 channel amp that is 2 ohm stable and can put out at least 500rms .
Along with a proper installer and u wouldnt be dissapointed, If u are on a budget this is a good start.

[- Rovin's car audio -]

yeh all dat too cud work ^^^

it depends on how u choose 2 do d setup ......

[nismotrinidappa]

thanks fellas..i`ll try to get the one amp like shak said since space is an issue...and i go check u rovin for d box....i hear great things about your system

[- Rovin's car audio -]

hmm - i have only shown a few privilaged persons who PM pix of my install , like 1 of dem show u it or wat .......

[hong kong phooey]

U could use one four channel amp, run each mid speaker of one channel each (using all four channel) and to run your base, bridge 2 channels. u need to use a filter going to the base speaker, otherwise u will fork it up

This all depends on what the wattage of your amp and speakers are.

If u planning to upgrade your music in the future buy a 4 channel amp now and to run your mids and base and when u get more money buy a monoblock to run your base and use the four chanel for your mids.

or save your money and buy rum go to the beach and get drunk more fun
