[QUOTE="iceberg65, post: 3672788, member: 582724"] Ok so my local Visions store is having a boxing day sale selling this amp.[URL="http://visions.ca/catalogue/category/Details.aspx?categoryId=50&productId=2386&menuId=1&parentId1=49&parentId2="]http://visions.ca/catalogue/category/Details.aspx?categoryId=50&productId=2386&menuId=1&parentId1=49&parentId2=''&parentId3=''&menuLevel=2[/URL] i am looking to amplify my speakers Infinity reference 5X7's rated for 60w rms (front) RCA 5X7's rated for 120 rms (back) and i feel that this is over rated as RCA dont really do much with car audio. both sets are rated at 4ohm resistance. I want to get 50-60w rms to all the speakers. I dont care about balance but I want fade control still, my deck has front rear and sub preouts. With this amp is says that it puts out 50WX2 @ 4ohms or 100wX2 @ 2ohms my question is: Should i wire the speakers at a 2 ohm load off one amp running the rca from one front and one rear preout to maintain my fade. [CENTER]OR [/CENTER] should i get two of the same amp and wire all the speakers to 50w at a 4 ohm load. OR should i just try to get a 4 ch amp. such as this one. [URL="http://visions.ca/catalogue/category/Details.aspx?categoryId=52&productId=937&menuId=1&parentId1=49&parentId2="]http://visions.ca/catalogue/category/Details.aspx?categoryId=52&productId=937&menuId=1&parentId1=49&parentId2=''&parentId3=''&menuLevel=2[/URL] Cost is a factor as i am a student, but if the sound quality is going to be significantly improved by running 4 ohms rather then 2 i would be willing to spend extra.
