-Sony head unit w/CD changer (already owned) -2 MM-12's, Polk-Momo 12' subs in enclosure 500W RMS, 1000W Peak, 4ohms SVC($99 each) -2 pr's of Polk dB 650's for front and rear 60W RMS, 180W Peak 4ohms($150 total) -1 Sony XM-2200GXT 2 ch amp to run 200W X 2 at 4Ohms for subs ($99) -1 Sony XM-2200GXT 2 ch amp to run the four coax's at 2 ohms, left front and rear in parallel, right front and rear in parallel ($99)
I bought the cheap amps as a temporary move until I can afford a better monoblock amp to run the 2 subs in parallel at 2 ohms for max efficiency.
I really just need a 4 ch amp for the four polk coax's, but, again, want to wait to afford a higher quality amp, rather than buy a mid-level amp now.
I may be able to get the Polk single channel amp for about $250 to run the subs. Any opinions on that setup?
The coax's take 60W RMS and 180W Peak, so I don't really need a beefy, expensive amp. Any suggestions here?
By the way, the Sony amp specs are as follows: 200 watts RMS x 2 at 4 ohms 250 watts RMS x 2 at 2 ohms 500 watts RMS x 1 at 4 ohms
For the subs, it's clearly not 2ohm stable in bridged mode (with subs in parallel), so I'd run it 200W X 2 at 4 ohms. Is this wishful thinking that it'd be OK for 3-6 months until getting a better amp. I don't need the tightest, hardest bass, just good enough to crank with mostly rock type music, some rap.
Feel free to roast, I know the set-up's pretty hodge-podge. I do need help before I feel free to open boxes and start the install.
Oh, it'll be in a 96 honda civic and I've got all the wiring down, 4ga power cables, fuses, etc.
Thanks everyone.
By the way, I may be able to get a Polk-Momo 2 ch amp for $200, rated as follows:
Channels 2/1 (bridgeable) Total Dynamic Power (all ch. driven) 850 watts 14.4 Volts RMS Not Bridged @ 1kHz 4 Ohms 150 watts x 2 2 Ohms 220 watts x 2 14.4 Volts RMS Bridged 4 Ohms 550 watts x 1
I guess one amp for my 2 subs would only be 150W X 2 at 4 ohms, would this be much better than the Sony as far as power?
