[QUOTE="tenspeed, post: 7113861, member: 628072"] Hey all, I bought some Apline Type Rs and want to install them into my car myself. I'm fairly new to car audio, but I'm determined to do this project myself (with a little help from mates) just so I can learn. I was originally just going to run the splits off my Eclipse CD3000 head unit, I know it wouldn't be very good, but I figured it would sound better than what I have at the moment, but everyone I have talked to said it's fairly stupid to run Type Rs off a head unit so I thinking about an amp now. I currently have an Eclipse EA4000 amp, which I'm running my Kenwood sub off, that is a 4 channel amp with 75w per channel. Would I possibly be able to run both my sub and splits off this amp? Will this be a better idea than running the splits off my head unit? Obviously the best idea would to get another 2 channel amp for the splits, if I'm to go down that path what should I be looking at getting? Thanks. [/QUOTE]
