amplifier options

[Jimg]

looking for some options on what 4 channel amplifiers you would be using on running an active 3 way up front

Truck is a 2016 tundra crewmax

Front door speaker 6.5
Front tweeter in the A pillar
Front Dash speaker location looks like i can go up to a 3 inch speaker

I will not be using the rear door speakers

Subwoofer behind the rear seat probable a lower power 12 inch sub of some type

I thought about using one 4 channel to put on the 3 inch and tweeters

and a different 4 channel amp to put the 6.5 on channel 1 and 2 then bridge channel 3,4 to the sub

amps i was looking at
Orion XTR 500.4 on the smaller speakers $140 on amazon
Orion XTR 740.4 on the 6.5 and the sub $180 on amazon

What would you go with?

First I would like to find out what 3-way speakers you plan on using? And what are their power ratings?

But without knowing that, here's what I would recommend:

Audison APF8.9 DSP Amp, 85w x 8
Power all six of your front speakers ACTIVELY,
Use the last two channels to power some rear fill (ie: Coaxials in the rear doors).
Get a separate Amp to power your Sub
Connect the Sub Amp to the 9th channel of the APF8.9
Have your entire system DSP tuned!
Don't forget to sound deaden...

Kicker CXA360.4. They are discontinued, but as of a month ago best buy was selling them for $130 a pop. I grabbed 2 for my front stage. One amp does 65w x 4 RMS @ 4 ohms, the second amp is bridged, 180w RMS x2, pushing my 2 mids. Then I grabbed a kicker CXA800.1 to push my subs. So far these have been very excellent amps, and they are great bang for the buck. They also do a little over rated power (according to the birth certificates)
