Besides a nicer interface and 4v Preamp, why would someone buy the 9886 over a 9884?

Oh no, I just used them to link the examples

Reason I was looking at the 4-channel is that from my price searching, that 4-channel offers a much better value then a 2-channel at 150w rms...

To power a set of components, what's the difference between bridging a 4-channel amp (such as this) and running a 2-channel amp (this)?

How hot will bridging that 4-channel run? Seems to me that I can live with a bit of heat for 1/2 the cost of that 2-channel.

Everything is currently stock in my car - when I put the fade all the way to the front, I don't like it as much...seemed to lose some bass and general sound. Does this have any bearing as to whether or not I should get rear fill with a good set of components and a sub? Or are the stock...

So I've done a lot of reading, and general consensus seems to be that if you have a good set of components, you don't need rear fill, especially in a small car (like my civic). With that said, how's this look? RSD 6.5" Components RSD 12" Sub Alpine MRP-F300 4 Channel Amp OR PDX-2.150 Alpine...

Would it be better to skip rear fill and just bridge the amp to the front comps? Then run stock speakers with HU. Would 200+ watts to each component be too much?

Comps in front Coax in back PDX-4.100 CDA-9884 How would this sound without a sub? Don't wanna spend too much money, just replacing the stock stuff in my Civic.

How would the ZX650.4 amp work? Rated at 120 RMS x 4 @ 4 ohm, with birth sheets rated higher. What's about a good $150-200 sub amp?

Well, for me personally it's not worth the effort...I love quality music, but I'd rather spend my time doing something other than learning how to build my own enclosure Even though the coaxials in the back are ~$50, you'd skip them? I had thought the improved soundstage would be worth that

Been reading a lot about the PG RSD line, and seems to be good SQ for a budget...how does this look? RSD 6.5" Components in front - $87 RSD 6.5" Coaxials in back - $59 RSD 12" Sub in 1.21 cu. ft. box - $109 for sub, $50 for box (w/ shipping) Alpine MRP-F300 4 Channel Amp - $145 Alpine...

Been looking at Type-R or Type-S, but read some negative things about the SQ. Plan to run a MRP-M500 through it. Wanna spend
