What Amps should I buy?
ok, after some consideration I parted with my old rockford amps and
now am left with a purchase decision. I am looking for SQ not SPL. 93 mazda mx6 Clarion HU (entry level) 5x7 components JL Audio XR 2 10" JL 10w0 in sealed box presently no rear fill so I either need a 4 channel amp, or a 2 channel and mono D class. What do you guys recommend that will sound better than the 2 - 2 channel rockford's i used before? I wish money was no object, but it is, but opinions are welcomed. Thanks! |

If you want great SQ without shelling money completely out the ass, I
reccommend Alpine amps. Also, my Kenwood 1000w is pretty insane on my 15" MTX 1000w sub with both SQ and SPL. I use Alpine amps on my interior speakers, and the Kenwood on my sub. Sounds awesome! -Mike |

After doing some thinking and research, i'm leaning toward buying some
brand new Kicker amps from Ebay. They look like really good deals. I'm thinking of many 2 KX250.2 or maybe one and also a KX400.1 for the subs. What do you guys think? Or do you think the 200.2 would be enough for my JL XR components?

From what I can tell its only a 15 watt diff. The 200.2 being 70x2 and
the 250.2 being 85 x2. If its a couple dollars more, get the 250.2 otherwise save your money for big gulps. You wont notice 15 watts diff really. |

sorry i think you were talking 4 ohms cuz those watts specs are
correct. hmmm...now i'm wondering if that would be enough juice? 25 - 150 is what it says....and i'm GUESSING that means PER CHANNEL....so, maybe the 350.2 is the way to go? |

2 channel amp is most effective when two front speak not amplied and two rear speaker (in case your subs) amplifed. if I were you, I would use LPF on rear ampflication. In this case, you can hear more low bass coming from back. Usually you don't hear bass sound coming from front. This is why most bass sound places in back of the band. No wonder drummer is usually sits in the back. For 4 channel amp, use HPF on front two speaker amplication and use LPF on rear two subs) |

Oops should add, that while I don't know much about it there are soundwave cancelations and stuff based ont eh acoustics of the vehicle but I think I am right toher than that about nondirectional sound. |

If its below 80hz or so. Over that it starts getting directional

The numbers I posted are for 4 ohms yes. Your speakers are 4 ohm as
well. They post 2 ohm numbers so the specs look better. 90% of all coax and components are 4 ohm. |

I did not say bass is directinal sound. I'm saying you can hear extra bass sound by using LPF on back and HPF on front. in fact, 4 channel amp has two switch setting one for front and other for back according to my manual. I do enjoy the extra bass sound from rear speaker!!! |
