I recently installed an amp and two subs I was lucky enough to get from someone I found local here on the forums. This is my first amplifier install. The first problem I had was distortion in the left front speaker (not sure what kind of distortion, sounding janky at higher tones usually). I...

So any ~200W sub from a good brand?

Okay sounds good. So it sounds like I'd basically have the fronts for mid and high notes and the rears for mid and low notes, then add a sub eventually for the low and really low. And just a side question, using the amp for the fronts and the sub, I know the rears are not the main centerpiece or...

Planet Audio AC1200.4 ANARCHY 1200-Watt Full Range Class A/B 2 to 8 Ohm Stable 4 Channel Amplifier https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00HLSU6PI/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_v40zybKDJH65K Would this be suitable as well? What about attaching all 4 speakers and having the sub attached to the wiring for one of the...

Well the problem with monoblock would be the lack of power to the fronts, which is more important apparently. As it is right now I have to have the fader rear biased to not hear the front distortion on bass. As far as the 6X9's, I really like how they sound, and considering I'm not an enthusiast...

So are the 90 rms of the rears being wasted or is that just part of the game? They're loud enough already I'm not worried. With that amp the fronts would work well I assume? They aren't cheapo ones like I used to have (scosche HD, awful). And the rears wouldn't be completely drowned out with...

So I would be looking at what rms for the amp? 90 would be insanely expensive at 5-channel, so what is a realistic amp for a starter like myself? Also how many channels do I need? It's one speaker per channel? So 5 for 2 pair plus a sub right?

Okay, I see now that the 55x4 is only the peak... Do I really need a 5-channel amp though? It seems overkill, but I guess I should have full power to all the speakers. Also, what RMS would I be looking for in this 5-channel amp? 90x5 to cover the rms of the rears, or higher to please the...

@Jeffdachef it is a Sony DSX-A400BT. The 55x4 is RMS not peak, I made sure of that. Or are they still lying when they say RMS? I really don't know terribly much. The head unit isn't killing the fronts, so I assume it does have a filter, but when the volume is at 35-40 out of 50, the...

Do I even need to make the 6x9's use their full 90 RMS potential? It is very loud already, but I want to make sure after I put in the bass blockers in front the system as a whole doesn't lose any low-end punch.

I drive a 2004 Buick Century. I recently put in 2 5.25" kicker DSC50 in the front (door panels), and 2 kicker dsc6903 in the back (rear deck). I am going to install bass blockers on the fronts becasue I listen to a lot of rap and the fronts are just being punished by trying to put out so much...
