I guess I'll probably buy the pg comps first and just use the walmart amp until I get the new amp (my birthday is in november, so I might be able to get one as a gift). I do have one concern. I'm going to college in the northern Upper Peninsula of Michigan. Will most speakers survive that...

I might be able to do that. I guess if the amp and the speakers is only around 170 shipped, I might be able to squeeze together enough to buy them. So you guys think the amp for my subs is enough for the time being? (I know they aren't the best subs, but they came with my car and my system...

Thanks for the quick reply. The walmart amp is a "Virtual Reality Sound Labs" 400 Watt amp. I believe it's made by roadmaster though because their website had the product manual and whatnot on it. Not a good amp, but it was free and hopefully it will provide more power than the HU.

I am currently running a Kenwood Excelon kdc-x491 with a pair of pioneer 4x6's for the fronts and jl 6x9's for the rears (both off the head unit). Unfortunately, they were there when I bought the car, so I don't have model numbers w/o ripping off my door panels (something I'd like to only do to...

Okay. That's what I figured would probably be the better option. What would be a decent cheap amp to replace the alpine (preferably a 4 channel amp that is bridgeable so I can run my comps on channels 1 and 2 and bridge 3 and 4 for my subs)? Would it be possible to find one for under $150? Thanks

I guess I might stick with the Kenwood anyway because of the 24 bit d-a and the price difference (the 50 bucks saved will go towards fiberglassing kickpods so I can get some 6.5 inch comps; I only have room for 4x6 speakers in the front right now). Thanks for the help though. I just found the...

I am currently using an alpine mrv-100 to run two 10 inch xtant subs (200 watt rms each). My friend recently gave me a rather cheap no name amp claiming to have 400 watts. I know the new amp will have its wattage listed significantly higher than it actually is. Should I use the new amp bridged...

I am currently planning on replacing my old alpine head unit because it recently started skipping on almost every cd I own. As the title suggests, I am considering either the kenwood kdc-x591 or x491 or the pioneer 6900. I like some of the pioneer's more advanced features, but it costs a...
