Alpine HU upgrade - need amp suggestions
 
Bought a '14 370Z two months ago, but very disappointed in the non-Bose factory system. Easy to upgrade, did similar in my S2000, but have a couple questions for the audio experts here.
Have read multiple threads but have not found answers and some equipment that was suggested is NLA.

I plan to install:

Alpine CDE-W265BT HU...

Alpine

Alpine SPR-60C Speakers...

Now for amp, I am just stuck on what amp to get and where to locate.
I dont plan to install a sub at this time so a 2 ch [or 3 ch] is fine.
I've read that there is 2" of height space under the passenger seat, that would be my first preference. I do not want it behind the seat as that is used for [wife's] bag storage. I also do not want it visable [in the back].

Love the car, now just need to get the sound where it needs to be.

Thanks.......

Keep it in the Alpine family and put in one of these:
Alpine

It's tiny and I'd imagine will fit under the seat without any problem.. I think other users here have even been able to install it in the dash near the head unit.

I like that suggest, but is 45w enough power? I could bridge it though.

I was wondering if there was space behind the dash?

Thanks

Any other suggestions out there?

Being told I need a dash kit, can you confirm?

Confirmed, you need a dash kit. Personally I'd go to Pioneer SPH-DA120
I had an Alpine ILX-007 CarPlay unit in my 370z and replaced it with the Pioneer AppRadio 4. Sorry alpine units are rubbish for the money now.

Yeah you'd want to bridge it.
