Hello all, looking for a few comments on the audio equipment before i finally buy it all.

Bought Already

-Pioneer p860mp

-Diamond Audio s500 ( got a good deal on them so decided to grab them)

Not Bought

amp- KICKER KX350.4 ( if i get it im planning on bridging it to 2 channel)

rear fill - diamond audio D361i coaxial ( would use headunit to amp them)

realize that most of you dont use rearfill but i would prefer to have it

For the mean time my friend is gonna lend me his old amp + sub until i get some more funds.

Any help is appreciated, thanks.

just need a couple questions answered.

1) The DA s500s are rated at 100nom/200 max. How much power should i feed them? was thinking around 150w

2) The DA D361 are rated at 60nom/120 max. The headunit is only rated at 22 x 4 rms. Would it be better to buy a seperate to channel amp for just them, or should i just run them off the headunit?

1) yea u can feed it 150 w, but u would need to be really careful and set the gains just right.

2) It would be really great if u can have a seperate amp for ur speakers. It will improve the quality of the speakers.
