Amp help!

[vectorz]

Hi everyone. I'm a newbie so please bear w/ me.

My setup:

Eclipse 7301 Head Unit

Eclpise 5961 In Dash CD Changer

(1) 12" Infinity Perfect 12 Subwoofer (400 watt max)

(1) 6.5" Infinity Reference Components (90 watt max each)

No rears speakers, because it's a C5 Corvette convertible 2 seater.

On a friend's recommendation, I bought a Nine.2 Amp to power the sub only, because he said the HU should have enough power (15W) to power the component front speakers. Well, after setting this up, I feel the front speakers aren't getting enough power. They're loud, but not quite as loud as even the stock BOSE stereo system.

So I think I need to run more juice in the front also. Question is, should I send my Nine.2 back and get a Nine.4 to power all three speakers? Or should I get a seperate amp just for the two front speakers?

Any advice would be much appreciated.

Do you have a good recommendation on a very small formed factor, 2 channel amp with max output of 90W per channel?

Find that friend and slap him right across the face. Worst advice ever given.......

I would pick up another Nine.2 (or whatever) for the fronts.

if u try and use that amp for all 3 speakers your sub will be underpowered... i would just buy another amp and leave taht other one for the sub.

yes definitly get another amp for the mids, depending on ur budget a very good space efficent as well as power efficent (not to mention orgasmicly low THD) would be a memphis 16-MC300 or a memphis 2 channel amp along those lines (stay away from the referance series)......

although a nine.4 would looked sexy matching your nine.2..........all your choice

agreed^ another amp is the way to go if possible... or turn the volume up and the gains down //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif
