Should the ohm rating on the receiver match the rating on each speaker? What kind of receiver (amp?) and speakers should I go with, if my goal is just to get very good, clean sound and lots of volume (at least 50 watts RMS per speaker?), for under $350? Maybe a couple examples of which products...

Looking for a solid home stereo setup, on somewhat of a budget, using 2-4 indoor/outdoor speakers and most likely the ability to add a subwoofer. Been looking at this receiver: https://www.crutchfield.com/p_022RS202/Yamaha-R-S202.html to go with maybe these speakers...

I have a Kicker L5 12" in a kicker enclosure sitting on the rear seat in my truck, powered by a MTX 600w rms mono-amp. I know this isnt a good sounding sub, but it is loud and, if I crank it, can give the feeling of "too much bass" for my truck (Explorer sport trac 4-door). I like a lot of bass...

12 gauge, and 10 gauge for the 6" of wire carrying the fuse holder that attaches to the battery   ---------- Post added at 11:18 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:18 AM ----------   12 gauge, and 10 gauge for the 6" of wire carrying the fuse holder that attaches to the battery

I used an in-line blade fuse holder for the Alpine KTP445u, what amp fuse should I put in there (10, 15, 20...)? This amp is 45 watts X 4, and I'm not sure what size to put in the fuse holder. The only information the Alpine manual had was that the blade fuse that plugs into the amplifier is 15...

One more question: For the amp ground wire, I ran another 12g wire up by the battery, and grounded it with my aux. lighting grounds to the chassis. I realized I could've just grounded it to something in the dash (because this amp is inside the dash), but does it matter since this is such a small...

Thanks... I found a fuse holder in my tool box.

I know this amp can be powered off the head unit, but I thought it would be better to run off the battery. I have some extra fuses exactly like this, so would it work?.... Amazon.com : In-line ACT Water-resistant Fuse Holder - 10 AWG : Vehicle Audio Video Accessories And Parts : Car Electronics

I put an Alpine ktp-445u (power pack) amp in my truck, and I used about 6' of 12awg wire to connect it to the battery. I want to know if the fuse in the Alpine harness that I'm using, which is right below the amp in the dash, is ok to keep using... or should I put an in-line fuse closer to the...

I have enough room for 2 shallow mount 10s or 12s in small sealed enclosure. They might have to be in separate enclosures though... I can get that to work off one amp, right? If I can find the Alpine's for less than $300 a piece I might get those. I can get 2 Kenwood 12's for the price of one...

Amplifier power is not an issue, I just want the best/loudest subwoofer setup I can fit under/behind the rear seat in my explorer sport trac. I know about the JL Audio 13TW5v2 (13.5"/600w rms) and Alpine type R shallow mounts, but since these are so expensive I can only afford one of them, and...

going with alpine

......?

Is the Alpine ktp-445u power pack really universal? ...it will plug into my Kenwood head unit? Are factory car speaker wires able to handle the upgraded power, or should I run new wires to the speakers when installing it? Do any other brands make small "plug in" amps like this one that are better?

Is the Alpine power pack (ktp-445u) a real amplifier? Is it powered off the battery like a "full size" amplifier, or does it just plug into the head unit and get power from there? Would I have to run new wires to the speakers with it? Alpine Electronics of America, Inc. I know it says it's...
