Stereo Amp Overhaul

[burt808]

My build was done over 10 years ago and some of my head unit buttons are failing and I think my pdx 5 is underpowered....Well I knew that 10 years ago...

Im itching to spend a little for maybe a pdx v9 5 channel but would going from 75w to 100w for the focal krx2 make a big differance...

I do not want to run power wires etc for a additional amp, im 41 years old now and well im slowly not caring as much anymore...

I originally went with the pdx 5 because of the small footprint in my kingcab as its only under my drivers seat..

Here are a few pictures from a very old thread I dug up....

My Stereo System - Nissan Frontier Forum

2007 Frontier KC Nismo

Alpine IXA W407

Alpine PDX 5

Alpine Imprint

Focal 165 KRX2 Components

Focal Polyglass 165 CVX 6.5 Inch

Kenwood KFCXW-1000F sub

2 Bulks of Dynamat(50pounds) w/Full Dynaliner

Bottom line is whats a good amp that fits in the same place to power the entire system, and is it worth upgrading my whole head unit/dsp unit for a 2018 kenwood etc or should I just leave it be...I still can use the remote control for volume

100 w vs 75 w will be about 1 db louder

Ok I found a Arc Audio 1200.6 for the same price of a pdx v9, thoughts?

Ok since my amp is situated is the new 2018 receivers good enough for me to not run imprint at all or should I just stay with the alpine imprint dsp/headunit from 2008

if your amp still works, id get a new deck, not a new amp
