I am about to install a nexus 7 tablet in my car with a DAC & Pioneer 80PRS. I'm consdering going to an active setup.

I also currently own:

-Kicker KX650.4

Kicker KX650.4 4-channel car amplifier 120 watts RMS x 4 at Crutchfield.com

-CDT es62i

CDT Audio ES-62i

I am thinking that this summer I may add a shallow mount (2 seater not much room) subwoofer such as one of these:

-Pioneer IB-Flat 8", 10"

or

-JL Audio TW3 10

1. So do I keep the KX650.4 & add a second amp for the sub?

2. Buy the JL audio 600/6 in the for sale section?

3. Would the JL be a better amplifier overall & why?

4.If using an active setup. 2x tweeters & 2x mids (all CDT's) & then one subwoofer.

What would be the power out to the tweeters/mids & then sub?

Checking online.... Would it be 200 RMS to tweeters, 200 rms to mids & 200 rms to sub (really don't need a lot of bass just a bit extra to take a load off the mids)?

Research seems to say active means you don't need as powerful of an amplifier.

Advice needed, where should I go with this?
