Worth it to upgrade amp?
This is my current setup:
Pioneer DEH-2700 Infinity 6000cs Component set up front (90w RMS) Sony XS-V1635X 6-1/2" 3-way's in the rear (65w RMS) Sony XM-2200GTX pushing Alpine Type-E SWE-1241 one sub for each 200wRMS channel Lightning .5 farad cap hooked to the Sony Amp Ok, I know it isn't expensive high quality sound but I think it sounds decent and I don't have huge wads of cash to spend. It is definitely much better than the stock that was in before. I'm already planning on baffling the door speakers and putting dynamat or some variant thereof on the doors and floor. Right now I'm considering getting possibly a Alpine MRP-F240 (40x4) or a Phoenix Gold Octane-R 5.0:4 (50x4). I have been out of the scene for a loooooong time (think 8 years+) and PG was a good brand when I last remember. Would it be worth it to add one of these amps to my system and which one will probably do the best job? Mostly I feel like I run out of room on the Infinity's and Sony's which are powered by the Pioneer right now. I hope the baffling and matting will help keep everything sounding clean but will it make that much of a difference to go from a headunit rated at 22x4 up to the amp supported. One thing I think will help is setting a High Pass crossover at around 80ish HZ which either amp will allow me to do. |

It's call competiton. The street car audio is getting boomer every year. The size of sub is getting bigger and heavier. My car can't install $500 alpine 1000Watts subwoofer. And it's damn heavy and there is no space for it. I need a 4x4 truck for this... |
