[QUOTE="sharky, post: 8464841, member: 660401"] If your just running a front stage with 2 way passive x overs, a 4 channel amp would be fine..2 channels to the front and bridge the rear for a sub...your just limited to sub RMS power with most 4 channel amps. If you want to run an active x over (which is far superior sound quality and tuning wise), a single 4 channel would power the front 2 way stage and you would need either a mono amp or a another 2 channel bridged for a sub. I would go with an A/B class 4 channel for the front stage and a class D for the sub. I dont see anything set aside for quality amp install kits and an alternator..your looking at $350 at least or more for all that..What about car prep so that nice equipment you just spent your hard earned money on doesnt sound like crap..Figure a couple hundred more there as well. You may want to consider spending less on equipment if you plan to have a good sounding system in your $1500 range. [/QUOTE]
