haha, good point. Sorry, I dunno why I made the most vague post of all time. I have a 98 Accord 2 door, I don't really have any space restrictions but for obvious reasons I want to use as little as possible. I'm impartial to the size of sub I get so long as it offers the best possible sound...

Hi, i've never owned a sub before, but i'm looking for one that will run well on 200W RMS. I have the Alpine MRP-F450 amp currently connected to my Type R components and 6x9's. I'm going to keep the Comps connected and bridge the rear channels for a sub. The amp will put out 200W rms bridged...

Why would it matter if the 6x9's are just rear fill? As I said, I had the Type S 6x9's in my old car running of HU power and they sounded fine. Right now, my system is lacking the bass I want, so adding a sub is the natural fix for my problem. With my front components still amped at 70W RMS...

Hey, I have the Alpine MRP-F450 amp currently running Type R 6.5 components up front and 6x9's in the rear. I'm thinking about adding a sub. Here's my question, if I continue to run the 6.5's from my apm and then bridge the other two channels for 200W rms to a sub, can I then run my rear...

I have that problem too. I have a very similar system, MRP-F450 amp, Type R 6.5 comps and 6x9's. 9857 HU. I don't have a sub, but with my amp tuned properly it sounds pretty ****ing good except for the rattle which i'm hoping to fix with dynamat. I find the type r's tweeters to be a little...

Yeah, i'm amping them. I have the Alpine MRP-F450 75x4 RMS amp. The speakers sound terrific, but i'm very picky when it comes to vibrations. (which is why i don't have a sub) Right now, when I have the volume past 15/16 any song with alot of bass will rattle. It REALLY bugs me. I was...

Hey, So I have a 98 Accord 2 door and I have my Alpine Type R 6x9's in the rear deck. A few questions for you guys 1) I'm going to buy the Dynamat Extreme Door kits, the 2 10x10 baffles for both my front 6.5 components and the rear 6x9's. Good idea? Everything i've read said it makes a...

Hey guys I just bought Alpine Type R 6.5" components and 6x9's for my car. I'm powering them with the Alpine MRP-F450 amp and i'm running the system without a sub. My amp has a "Bass Boost" function on it, and i'm not sure if I should use it. After fiddling around with the amp I have the...

I'm trying to keep my costs down as much as possible, so I was wondering how much power is required to get the best out of a set of speakers. For instance, Infinity Kappa Perfect 6.1 and the Polk Momo MMC690's i'm looking at are both rated at 100W RMS, 400 / 330W peak. I'm not sure what amp I...

All figures are in Canadian dollars I'm more interested in the quality of the speakers more than anything. By doing some research on the net, i'm getting very differing opinions on the quality of Kenwood speakers. Some say they are garbage as where other people swear by them. I don't need...

Hi I have a friend who can get me Kenwood or Clarion products at his cost. Initially I was looking at ordering new speakers, amp and deck through Ebay, but this opportunity is easier and will probably end up saving me money after freight and duty are included (I live in Canada) Here's my...

Since i'm still not 100% sure if I can do what I want to do, i'll use real examples and hopefully someone can tell me with complete certainty that it will work. Here is the equiptment: SPECIFICATIONS CEA-2006 Power Rating * • CEA-2006 Power Rating (4Ohm@14.4V = 1%THD+N), S/N 73dBA (Ref...

Sorry, REF7541A 520 Watt 4-channel amplifier Specifications CEA Rated: Yes Power Output: 111 watts RMS x 4 channel at 4 ohms and ≤ 1% THD + N 278 watts RMS x 2 channel at 4 ohms, 14.4V supply and ≤ 1% THD + N Signal-to-Noise Ratio: 81dBA (reference 1 watt into 4 ohms) Dynamic Power: 164...

Thanks for the reply, Yeah, all the Kappa multi-element speakers are run at two ohms and the component sets are run at 4 ohms. Not sure why, I guess just to make things more difficult for me. My other option was to go with Polk Momo MMC690 6x9's in the back. Those look like very nice...

Hi I'm looking at buying a set of Infinty Kappa 6.1 Perfect components for my front, and the Infinity Kappa 3way 6x9 speakers for my rear shelf. Here's my problem, the two speaker sets have different resistances, similiar RMS requirements. The front components are 4ohm and the 6x9's are two...
