Dean Unregistered guest | I have a very budget system, I dont want to spend $32,000 on a sound system that melts your eardrums so people can hear me coming 15 miles away I just want something that sounds good now, right now, I have a 40W x 4 panasonic head unit, which is powering 2 5" speakers in the front, and 2 6x9 speakers behind the seat I also have 2 12" 250W subs just sitting behind the seat, not wired in. now, I wanna buy and amp, and plug it into the two RCA outlets in the back of my deck, while still powering the other 4 speakers is this a smart thing to do? will this take power away from the other speakers? will I have to put the rear speakers thru the amp too? please help! thanks |
