[QUOTE="ShakesAllDay, post: 3204317, member: 579099"] I've got some older (about 3 years old) Kicker 5x7 components (front) and Kicker 5x7 coaxials (rear). At the moment, they are all running off of an Alpine 9883 head unit (18w x 4 RMS). They actually sound pretty good... better than I thought they were going to. I'm wondering if amping them with an Alpine MRP-F250 (40w x 4 RMS @ 4-ohm) would make a LOT of difference? I had them amped before, but the amp was stolen, so I hooked up them up to the head unit... and honestly, with the HP crossover set at 80hz, they sound pretty darn good. I'm just wanting opinions on whether or not it would be worth the time and money ($200) to put them on the F250. I'm getting an Alpine MRP-M450 to run a single 12" sub, and I like to have all my stuff match (I'm silly like that). Another option would be to bridge the 4 channels into 2 channels and just run the front component set off the amp and leave the rear 5x7 coax's running off the head unit since they are just filler anyway. Thoughts? Thanks in advance!!! [/QUOTE]
