hey yall, i have a rf bd1500 powering my ed 15a, and i also have a rf bd1000 that i want to use to power all my interior speakers, because my radio, the alpine 7998 cant power all that...

i have 2 tweater on the dash, an alpine type r component set in the front door, and stock speakers in the rear( for rear fill)...can i just wire them all from the bd1000.1? or will that cause problems?

thank you

the 1000d would be too much power for the interior speakers i would suggest a 4-channel amp. it will power them cleaner

all the interior speakers are 4 ohms so at 4 ohms the amp is only putting out about 500 watts, 500 watts powering 8 interior speaker is about 62 watts? thats not to much is it?

don't do it...buy another amp for your front stage.

if you mean by not beaing able to power it that you dont have enough rca outs you can buy fader. The're really old school but they convert one signal to a front/ rear.

Isn't that a class D subwoofer amp? Your speakers will receive only bass and will have no stereo.

Class D amps can't typically (or ever?) power mids/highs.

I'm pretty sure that amps you are talking abotu is class D.

One - you would lose all stereo effects. It would be the equivalent of watching The Matrix on your grandma's 1968 13" black and white TV vs. a 36" Flat Screen w/a nice sound system.

Two - above about 250hz (about 99% of the audio spectrum) class D's add a LOT of distortion. It gets worse as it gets higher.
