Should I Upgrade my system ?

[Youhearthat? 10+ year member]

Ok my currently just finished install goes like this...

On Accord 2004 V6 Coupe

Eclipse 8445 Headunit

JL audio E6450 AMP Six channel

Front Set of Boston Pro's 60

Rear Set of focal 5.25 Mids for rear fill

Diamond audio 400w RMS sealed 10" DVC Sub

So on channel 1 and 2 I have the Boston Pro's, 3 and 4 Rear fill Focal's, and 5 and 6 Bridged sub at 8hms.

This are my amp specs:

e6450 Class A/B Six-Channel System Amplifier Specifications:

Rated Power 12.5 V Stereo: 45W RMS x 6 @ 4 ohm

75W RMS x 6 @ 2 ohm

Rated Power 12.5 V Bridged: 90W RMS x 3 @ 8 ohm

150W RMS x 3 @ 4 ohm

Rated Power 14.5 V Stereo: 70 W RMS x 6 @ 4 ohm

110 W RMS x 6 @ 2 ohm

Rated Power 14.5 V Bridged : 140 W RMS x 3 @ 8 ohm

220 W RMS x 3 @ 4 ohm

So I want to bridge the comps in channels 1 trough 4 and leave 5 and 6 for rear fill and get a separate amp for my sub, especifically a rockford fosgate punch 3002.

Specs for the amp:

75 W x 2 @ 4 Ohms RMS

150 W x 2 @ 2 Ohms RMS

300 W x 1 @ 4 Ohms Bridged RMS

I could also get anything from PPI, Crossfire, JBL, Memphis, MA audio, JL audio, Diamond.

So any other amp recommendations?

You think is worth it?

what benefits should I see?

Could I kill my alternator by doing this or put more strain on my electrical system?

I just like quiet crystal clear music not something loud that bumps all of my car parts... just nice clean SQ.

Thanx in advance..!

def bridge it and give the bostons more power...if at that point they dont satisfy you, you know what you need to do

pre-fab subwoofer enclosure? or custom? got pics?

 

[Youhearthat? 10+ year member]

custom based on diamond instructions... I already bridged my comps they defenetily sound much louder, but the sub obviously cant keep up with that kind of power.... hence the need for another amp....

But the real important question is giving more power to the comps will the SQ increase at all volumes ?
