Memphis Belle 16-MCH1300

its like $100 more than your budget allows, but honestly, in my opinion, it is the most versatile 5 channel amp on the market.

*dreams* if they added another 2 channel 150x2 into the belle for a 7 channel amp - then it would be all over - would be hands down the best amp evar.

Get a Nine.5 man, you can't beat it for the price of $350 with a 1 year warranty. I got one //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

MIght still be able to find a JBL755.6, and the Kicker ZX700.5 is a good choice too.

Your system is going to take a lot of planning and

detailed specifics. crossover points running crap in

parallel etc.

what would be the easyest way?

downsize, scrap the center and the 6x9's. Buy fewer

speakers and choose quality over quatity.

What kind of vehicle is it? What is running the center

channel now? (what is the head unit)

after looking through wooferetc's offerings and your budget -- I would agree on the nine.5.

That gives you up to 1300w of good quality, reliable power.

If your RF's are dvc4's it's the perfect fit imo, even if they're dvc 2's it's still 450w.

For $350 it seems like a no-brainer.

its a saab 9-3. the head unit is running it now and i have to stock head unit with a 3sixty.1. i would just upgrade the head unit but no one makes a peice to fit where the stock head unit is becuase its such a wierd shape.

I believe he was thinking to run a 4" center channel speaker

off of the 5th channel. We need to get the facts here.

Can you hook up the clean sweep in such a way that the

headunit continues to power the front center channel speaker?

i wasnt going to use the fifth channel to power the center i was going to leave the head unit powering it.

i was also looking for a power 1000 i got a price brand new for 400 from a local place. 300 rms to my subs isnt really enough for me. i was just thinking of running a 4 channel to my speakers and then another mono amp to my subs.

what do u guys think of that?

Rated at 300 w at 4 ohms but the entire amp is 1 ohm stable. sub channel is usually 8-900 watts at 1 ohm.

Also the way mine pushes my Fi's at 4 ohm mono I would have to say under rated at 4 ohm also!

very good

ed nine.5

run the fronts crossed over about 120Hz

you could run the 3's and 6.5s in parallel (I may not)

run the rears crossed over at about 80-100Hz

you could run the 6x9s and 5.25s in parallel (I may not)

ed nine.5 will handle the impedances and crossovers.

cross the sub whever sounds good between 80-120
