Howdy y'all, starting a build, and I'm concerned about heat from my amp given the location I've got planned out for it. It'll effectively be sitting in a cabinet, and I'm planning to cut a hole out in the top and using two PC fans as exhaust fans to try to keep it cool. My question comes down...

After looking at what I'm working with space-wise, I'm really leaning towards the PC1000.5D, seems like a pretty good pick there. If I'm getting this right, my door speakers being rated for 100w rms, but driven by 60w leaves me a pretty good amount of headroom without damaging the speakers, and...

You had a lot to add, and I appreciate it. (In retrospect, before I post this, I'm realizing I've a lot to say, sorry) Edit: It seems like sound deadening is super important, so would you think that installing my HU and buying only the speakers and sound deadening would work out? The radio only...

Edit: I guess for whatever reason, the links don't actually work. What are your thoughts on 5 channel amps? It seems like it could help reign in the budget and foot print a bit. For instance the Precision A1000.5D ~200 - 4 ohms - 60w x4 + 250w - 2 ohms - 100w x4 + 450w Or for roughly the same...

Thanks again, I really wasn't expecting to get a lot of help, I checked the Car A/V reddit first and got nothing back from them. Do you have a rec. over the polk sets? I'd originally been thinking of Kicker, but a lot of my purchases are going off of user feedback and reputation, since I don't...

Ah, I just don't know how to read lol. And no, I was just planning on tying them into the front speakers with crossovers, though in the future I might try to add some smaller coaxial speakers in the dash for mids. Would the 60w rms (x4 @4Ω) be enough to reasonably drive the 100w speakers? I'm...

Did you have any suggestions for mid amps? Should I check out Precision for that as well?

Thanks for the suggestions. The amps are listed as "vertical", does that effect anything in any meaningful way as far as mounting and such goes? Also, do you think that the 12" sub is the way to go for that kind of "punchy" bass feel? I've got another car that I'd added my Polk 6x9s to the...

So, I'm still relatively new to this, would there not be an issue with the amp outputting 1000w at 1 ohm and 700w at 2 ohms since the sub is only rated for 500w and could be wired to be either 1 ohm or 2 ohms? Do you have any other recommendations if I'm not able to swing it on clearance (or...

Definitely open to suggestions (read as please help). What I've got there is really the roughest idea, simply what numbers matched up. The only reason I went with the Polk speakers is because I have a set that have been with me and/or my brother since ~2009 and they're still kicking, and I've...

Howdy y'all, let me apologize in advance for what seems like is going to be a lot of text. I'm pretty new to the whole audio system thing. I've done the basics before, a new head unit, some (decent) speakers, but never a comprehensive system working in tweeters, amps, and sub(s). I've been...
