Choosing the right Amplifier

[ballotra15]

First of all I'm totally new to car audio and I basically know nothing. I've tried researching online , however I still couldn't understand what type of amplifier I need for my current setup.

My question is , what type of amplifier do I need for the current setup?

The setup is :

2x Pioneer Free air Subwoofer (350W max,100W nom power, 4 amps)

4x Pioneer 20cm Coaxial 3 way (250W max,90W nom power, 4amps)

I also have a Zendar 150+150 W max amplifier.

I'm not looking to install it myself , I'm just looking for a general guidance so I will have an idea of what I actually need when I go to the audio shop. (so I won't get ripped off)

Regards

Looks like you have 2-4 choices. A 5 channel which in your case would work fine with your lower power reqs. Or a 4 channel amp and a mono amp, or a 2 channel to amp the fronts, a mono for the subs, running the rears off the radio. Or just a 4 channel, power the front speakers and the subs off the amp, rear speakers off the radio.

As far as install you need a minimum a power install kit which can run 30-60$ or more depending on markup, then its probably 2-3 hours labor.
