[QUOTE="s2g-unit, post: 8483238, member: 669115"] 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 [URL="http://www.crutchfield.com/S-quR9g0xfWq8/p_2064KX6504/Kicker-KX650-4.html"]Kicker KX650.4 4-channel car amplifier 120 watts RMS x 4 at Crutchfield.com[/URL] -CDT es62i [URL="http://cdtaudio.com/main_series/es/es62i.htm"]CDT Audio ES-62i[/URL] 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? [/QUOTE]
