[QUOTE="MadMax78, post: 6244887, member: 613793"] 100 watts from a hu? doubt it... The amp should do 60W per channel, according to the jbl specs: 60W RMS x 4 @ 4 ohms and 1% THD + N* 80W RMS x 4 @ 2 ohms, 14.4V supply and 1% THD + N* 160W RMS x 2 @ 4 ohms, 14.4V supply and 1% THD + N* PDF: ([URL="http://manuals.harman.com/JBL/CAR/Owner%27s%20Manual/GT5A604OM19Mar08.pdf"]http://manuals.harman.com/JBL/CAR/Owner%27s%20Manual/GT5A604OM19Mar08.pdf[/URL]) Does "160W RMS x 2 @ 4 ohms, 14.4V supply and 1% THD + N*" means it puts out 160W when bridged? Or is it just 120W? If I would go with any other amp it would be this one: [URL="http://www.jbl.com/car/products/product_detail.aspx?prod=GT5-A3001&Language=ENG&Country=US&Region=USA&cat=AMP&ser=CSS"]http://www.jbl.com/car/products/product_detail.aspx?prod=GT5-A3001&Language=ENG&Country=US&Region=USA&cat=AMP&ser=CSS[/URL] and it puts out 175rms. So I'd say the difference isn't that dramatic, right? Well, I ran this setup on the HU before and the fronts really improved with the new amp, but the rears still hardly put out bass, only mids and highs. It hasn't changed much, so I thought a sub would complement them and the 4-ways will supply the mid and high in the back. [/QUOTE]
