Newbie needs amp suggestion...

[boyzindahood978 10+ year member]

I don't know anything about peak power, frequencies, rms or anything so maybe you guys can help me choose an amp that will pump my speakers.

Right now I have MB quart rsd 216 components in the front that is only powered by the HU right now and sounds pretty crappy.

Power Handling: 60-120 watts (not sure if this is rms or peak)

Impedence: 4 ohms

Sensitivity: 2,0 watts (90 db/1 m) (whatever that means)

Frequency response: 38-32.000 Hz

X over frequency: 2500 Hz

Crossover slope: 12/12 db/octave

For the rear Im probably getting the CDT cl-6x slim coaxials.

* Sensitivity: 90 dB

* Frequency Response: 60-20,000 Hz

* Recommended RMS Power: 40W

* Peak Power Handling: 80W

* Impedance: 4 ohms

From these specs can you guys help me choose an amp with the right power to push all 4 speakers. I don't need to know a specific brand, just the rms, channels, etc. Thanks.

An DECENT amp with around 50 watts RMS by 4 channels should do you well

Or oyu could just buy a 2 channel to run the fronts . Around 75x2 rms would work

I also have 2 12inch audiobahns in the trunk powered by a cheap 700 watt pyramid amp. The lights in my 95 max is dimming whenever the bass hits. What would be better, a 1 farad cap or a deep cycle battery?

try a deep cycle battery (or a new alt)

forget about peak power, that doesnt mean much. a cap might reduce your dimming alittle, but have your alternator tested. also get rid of that pyramid amp //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif
