how many channel amp do i need?

[preMier_ciVic]

lets just says im going to be using 200w components speakers on the front and 100w 6x9 on the back. how many watts and channels does the amp need?

 

[ScratchNSniff]

Just a four channel...which one depends on how much you are willing to spend...

 

[preMier_ciVic]

ok so each speaker needs a channel i wasn't sure about that... i dunno which components or 6x9 to get... I see the Infinity Perfect Kappa has alot of good reviews. money is really not an issue i just don't want to go overboard...

i just brought a jl 12w7 w/ jl 500w amp.. i know i can put 1000w amp but im going to put that on pause for now

im rockin alpine type r's in the front (5 1/4) and type r's in the back (6x9). they aren't powered but they sound pretty good. i'd recommend them, and they aren't that expensive either.

I've been a fan of the higher end Boston Acoustic and MB Quartz speakers, but I think I might be the only one.

i got pioneer rev series
thme speakers are badass but they dont make them no more
youll need a 4 channel amp, and i recommend JL audio amp

 

[eggyhustles]

never use jl audio products..great products..but tooo overpriced

 

[Genuine Rolla]

Just get a 4 channel that does

4 channels x 50 Watts RMS @ 4 ohms.

thats underpowering the fronts..op what speakers are they?

 

[QzFiNeST107]

thats not underwpowering the fronts at all
his components speakers probably high peaker handle is 200watts
but them shits are probably 100 watts RMS which is the constant pwoer of the speakers!

so if he gets a 4 channel amp that does 45+ rms through each channel at 4 ohms he be having himself a good system

 

[preMier_ciVic]

JL 450/4 sounds good

 

[Genuine Rolla]

Is that 200w RMS or peak power..?

I highly doubt that they are 200w RMS

 

[preMier_ciVic]

100w rms

 

[Genuine Rolla]

yeah, 50watts each will be enough

 

[eggyhustles]

wait im lost..so the fronts are 100? and the rears are 100?

 

[cujo613]

never use jl audio products..great products..but tooo overpriced

AGREED

iF i AM GOING TO SPEND TOP DOLLARS i WANT A TOP DOLLAR Amp like zapco or arc or some equilivent

I dont want to spend top dollor on a company that makes top dollar subs and good amp

good is not best

 

[preMier_ciVic]

yeah 100w front and 100w back... i was just using it as an example.

 

[afterhrsplayer]

My front and rear speakers are rated at 100w rms and 200w max. I'm using a jl audio 450.4 to run them. I'm really happy with the way they sound.

 

[preMier_ciVic]

ok cool thx for the input... i guess imma get jl 450/4
