Alpine CDA-7893

[exxxhale 10+ year member]

I am trying to put together a budget system which includes a new head unit component speakers and a small sub. Does anyone have experience with the 7893's internal amp. Is it powerful enough to run a full system without buying an additional amp. If not, I would rather spend less on a head unit and buy the separate amp.

I remember crutchfield saying you need a 200w amp kit for the headunit. i seriously doubt that its that powerful of a internal amp
