What components?

NYBladeZ · 09-06-2011, 04:25 PM

Depending on the size of the sub you may be able to get a powerful enough multi channel amp to run both the components and the sub ie. Alpine PDX5 but like I said that depends on the size and power needs of the sub you intend on getting.

Single 10'' sub. I could get a 4channel amp, run 1 for each component and bridge the other 2 for the sub, right?

Is power acoustik a good brand?
Power Acoustik - 1600W Class AB Bridgeable 4-Channel MOSFET Amplifier - BAMF1600/4

Edit: I guess I can.
Tri-mode capable
Lets you run a subwoofer along with 2 speakers from 1 amp.

Ok, I think I am gonna get the alpine type-s and run them off of deck power (DBs were my first option but BestBuy does not carry them). I will then get a mono amp and run a 10in sub.

Edit: I heard the twitters on the Alpines are too bright.. any experience with this?

I would pass on the db's if you are going to run an amp with them. Get one of the higher sets.

I do not see the alpine tweeters as being to bright.

Also X2 on the PDX amps.

I am a little late on this, But if you are planning on doing this please get an amp and do it at the same time. It will be a night and day difference. Promise...

bigaudiofanat · 09-08-2011, 05:23 PM

Definately agreed-

Just bought a pair of kenwoods and running them off an aftermarket nav- Even that alone is enough power-

Eventually I will get some JL co-axel speakers & amp them with a sub

Good luck!
