Budget Build W/NVX JAD900.5

[Ridgeline14 10+ year member]

I need to upgrade the stock speakers in my work truck. This will be a budget build which is why I'm using a 5ch amp. Need help matching a set of components and a woofer. I was looking at the IDQ65CS so far. I have a much better system in my other truck so no need for an expensive one to be in my bucket. Also can I wire the woofer on 2 ohms and still run the components on 4 ohms?

IDQ65CS are great but not exactly what I would call budget, and thanks for making me have to google jad900.5 like we know the model names of all amps...

It is compared to the $600 I paid for my other components. I'll edit it & put the whole name, sorry.

The Incriminator components and i-series sub would be a great match with that amp.

i'd just focus all the power on one component and leave rear speakers stock on head unit power.  I'd get the XS components and bridge your NVX instead rather than two pairs of idq comps underpowered.

I'm only going to put components in the the front, nothing in the rear. I have the xs components in my other truck and love them and even though they're cheaper now than when I bought them years ago I don't want to spend that much on a work truck. I do plan on bridging it for (4 ohms :230 watts x 2 chan. + 440 watts x 1 chan. I've never bridged an amp before and they're instructions for bridging looks like a typical setup, doesn't say anything about 2 ch

sounds good, it'll be simple to bridge to 2 channel stereo.
