Hi guys,
I haven't been on here in a while and since I am ready to start installing a system again (Acura Integra Coupe), I come to you all for advice.
So far, I have a set of ID front components (CTX65CS) running off of HU power (Old Pioneer DEH-4800MP). I plan on upgrading the headunit in the future, but right now I'm thinking of getting an amp for the front components and an ID8 sub.
I'm currently looking at a 3 channel amp (JL XD500/3) to power the fronts and the sub.
Here lies my concerns/confusion:
1) The XD500 does not push out enough power for the front components.
2) At 2 ohms, the XD500 pushes out 300RMS, but the ID8 D4 recommends 150RMS.
So I'm looking for advice in terms of alternative amp choices and whether I should get the 4 ohm or 2 ohm sub.
Thank you all in advance!
