[QUOTE="Evan Kays, post: 8873472, member: 691120"] Hi all, first post so I apologize if this is in the wrong place. Anyhow I recently purchased a 89 c4 corvette. And let me tell you, the stock audio is JUNK. I've been restricted to listening to classic rock (not that it's bad but I'd like options) for the past few weeks because the speakers distort badly with any bass. While slowly going insane I've been looking into my options as far as upgrades. Pretty sure I've figured out some of what I want. I'm going to find a used head unit that will send a good signal for an amp. Looking at the Alpine s-a32f 4 channel amp as my power source. Here's my question. I have 4 channels with this amp (55w rms @ 4 ohms), do I go with 4 door speakers (6.5s and maybe 6x8 or 6x9s in the back) or 2 door speakers and 1 10in sub? From the research I've done if I got 6.5 components and a sub I should come out with good sound since a corvette isn't huge on the inside and with no back seats there isn't much need for rear fill. But I've not an expert (for example I assume I can run 1 component 6.5 and its separate tweeter on 1 channel?). Another question I had was wether or not 2 bridged channels on this amp (160w @ 2 ohms) would be enough for a 10in sub or what sub would be happy there. Thanks, let me know what Im missing [/QUOTE]
