[QUOTE="Immortal, post: 4239092, member: 584048"] Sorry for overreacting a bit myself, it just seemed like you ignored most of what I was saying for a rant. Anyway... The Equipment: I have two Maxxsonics liscened (read: cheap) Crunch amps, a 1000w and 100w 4 channel. [URL="http://www.maxxsonics.com/crunch/PZ_main.html"]http://www.maxxsonics.com/crunch/PZ_main.html[/URL] Their site is kinda crap unfortunately Here are their stats: P 1000.1 1000W 1-Channel A/B Class Mono Amplifier 250W x 1-Ch @ 4-Ohms or [B]500W x 1-Ch @ 2-Ohms or[/B] (running this now for subs) 1000W x 1-Ch @ 1-Ohm Dynamic Music Watts 4 Channel: I believe this is the amp in question: [URL="http://caraudiosecurity.com/shop/product/products_id/5414.html"]http://caraudiosecurity.com/shop/product/products_id/5414.html[/URL] Unfortunately I cannot run out to my car right now to confirm (**** school parking is like 2 miles away from where I am right now) and my box/manual is at my mother's house. But that looks like it should be it. At that point my mindset was to buy the cheapest amp that would push the watts I needed for the speakers since I needed to save money for the installation. Also I have 4 of these speakers: [URL="http://www.pioneerelectronics.com/PUSA/Products/CarAudioVideo/Speakers/A-Series/Pioneer/TS-A6871R"]http://www.pioneerelectronics.com/PUSA/Products/CarAudioVideo/Speakers/A-Series/Pioneer/TS-A6871R[/URL] 3-Way, 240 max, 50 RMS. Ok the setup: As far as I can tell, the mono runs the subs in parallel at 500w just fine. The 4 channel is bridged in 2 channel mode, I assume its pushing 300 watts (according to that site) to each side of the car to power the two speakers on each site. EDIT: Just saw your edit, seems like that is the case. I wanted to upgrade with fosgate speakers all around that were at 110 RMS, but I just realized they were 6x9 when my slot is 6x8. This is the closest speaker that will fit and well assume these for now: [URL="http://www.rockfordfosgate.com/products/product_details.asp?cat_id=3&series_id=34&family_id=15&item_id=91997&locale=en_US&p_status="]http://www.rockfordfosgate.com/products/product_details.asp?cat_id=3&series_id=34&family_id=15&item_id=91997&locale=en_US&p_status=[/URL] But 75RMS seems likes its still going to be too weak. Any other brands make a 6x8 speaker of particular quality and high RMS? You keep mentioning the mids and tweeters. I have 3 way speakers rather than seperate components, so im not really sure what you are talking about in reference to these. Also if that is the case I believe I will save some money and go for a 2 channel if I decide to upgrade since I dont expect to be adding more speakers in any unconventional spots like boxes or in the trunk.
