Amplifier Channel Query

Yeah you can do that. Check out a gmd8604, 4 channel Pioneer. Run the front 2 off the front and bridge the rear to run the sub. Look at getting the 1260 sub though, 4 ohm svc.

Thanks CSCStang...Why do you recommend 1260w ( Infinity Reference 1260W 12" Single 4 ohm Subwoofer ) over 1262w ( Infinity 1262W Reference Series 1200W 12" Subwoofer ) ?

Because you need a 4 ohm load if you're going to bridge the rear Pioneer channels. The 1262 is a dual 4 ohm, which you would have to wire to 8 ohm.

Oh. Almost missed that detail. That Pioneer Amp GM-D8604 looks just right....Thanks you are awesome.

Glad to help man. I ran the 8604 for quite a while and never had any issues with it even getting warm.

CSCStang....One last question. What should I look at while choosing the Radio Receiver(1 DIN). All i needed was one with USB Slot but do i need to worry about matching it with my Amp and Sub or something like that? LIke 2 RCA Preout? Also what brand of Receivers are considered the best?

Pioneer or Alpine head unit. 2 sets of rca out would be ideal.

CSCStang....If i use Pioneer GM-D8604 Amplifier, I will bridge 2 Channels to create 300 W power to feed the SubWoofer (Continuous Power Output Bridged (4 Ω) 300 W x 2). The remaining 2 chanels will provide Continuous Power Output of 100 W at (4 Ω, ≤ 1% THD+N). For that much power, what front/rear speakers were you using with this Pioneer Amp?

I was running a pair of Kappa 6829cf on the front 2 and 2 pwx 8"@8 ohm wired parallel and Bridged @4ohm on the rear.

I ran an older Pioneer GM-6400 for awhile and it worked great running the front channels to apair of Kicker KS comps and the rear bridged to a Polk db104.

Depending on the vehicle you may be able to get away with not running the rear speakers at all.I have a Mini so I was able to delete the rear fillsince such a small area. As far as HU options Pioneer will have you covered just be careful some of them have a goofy knob that I found anoying bc it was like a joystick and rotary knob. Goodluck with your set up

Thanks TommyDH and CSCStang.... I have been looking and narrowed down on these 2 speakers for the front of the car

1. Infinity - PR6500CS - Infinity Primus PR6500cs 6.5" / 6.75" Component Car Speakers

2. Infinity - Reference 6500CX - Infinity REF-6500cx 6.5" Reference X Component Car Speakers

What do you reckon? To be paired with Pioneer GM-D8604 Amplifier and Infinity 1260W Subwoofer

The cx would be a great addition imo.
