Hi, Currently in my 2000 honda accord, i have the pioneer deh-7600mp as my head-unit which is 50Wx4. For my front speakers, i have a pair of infinity 6002i which are 60 watts RMS i think. My rear speakers are just the stock ones that came with the car. Right now i'm looking to add 1 sub and an amp. For the sub, i've got my eyes set on the MTX MXS1204 12" sub which has 400 watts RMS or the Kicker 05CVR122 which also has 400 watts. Are these good subs? Which one is better?
Now, i don't know ANYTHING about amps, so my question is what amp should i buy? a mono?2 channel?4 channel? Also, if i power the front speakers would i also have to power the back speakers? And if i do, do you think they would blow since the rear speakers are the car factory speakers and i don't know how much watts it can hold?
well i don't know if i need to amplify my speakers. Will just amplifying the sub drown the treble from the speakers if only the sub is amplified and not the speakers?
i think what Chad meant to say is a 150 x 4 amp is needed so 2 chans bridge = 300wrms & u can hook up 4 speakers (2/chan) on the remaining 2 chans ....
or you could get your sub and amp setup figured out then later get a 2 ch amp for the infinities. you could go w/ the one kicker comp vr 12 get a 400 watt mono amp. then worry about your front speakers later. 1 12 shouldn't be that overwhelming for your regular speakers.
