I probably already can answer this but here goes. I am interested in a sound quality setup. Boomin' bass in your face can hang out in that other guy's car.
I am in process to design my new car stereo system and this is what I have for speakers:
Front stage:
ID CD-2 Comp Mini Horns --RMS Power handling 100watts @ 8 ohms
ID IDQ52 Midbass, soon to be CX62 -- RMS Power Handling 150watts @ 2 ohms
Sub:
ID IDQ 10 DVC 4 ohm --RMS Power Handling 250watts @ 2 ohms
Alright, to power all this crap I, right now, have a 4ch amp 4x50 @ 4ohms.
What I was considering was 2 channels of that amp go to horns for 25watts@8ohms and the other two channels going to the mids at 100 watts@ 2 ohms
Then I just need to buy a 2x100@4ohm amp to power sub at 200 watts.
My question is this. Do I need more. Like
a dedicated 200x2@4 ohms for the Horns.
another dedicated 100x2@4ohms (200@2ohm) for the mids
and maybe another dedicated 200x2@4ohms for the sub?
Im freaking running out of space!!!
or do i look for a 200x4@4ohms (which would probably fill the trunk on my station wagon!!) for the horns and sub and a 100x2@4ohms for the mids.
This is too much thinking ****it!!!!
