My current system is as follows:
Pioneer NEX 4200 head unit
Pioneer GM-D9605 - 5 Channel amp (75W x 4 (A/B) @4 ohms, 100W x4 (A/B) @ 2 ohms )
Morel Maximo 6 Components in front (up to 90 watts RMS (180 watts peak power) )
Morel Maximo Coax in rear ( up to 80 watts RMS (160 watts peak power) )
IDQ 12" sub.
Looking to spend ~500. I do not need the sub upgraded. It's plenty for what I need.
I'd like a new head unit but probably gonna hold out for that.
So, that leaves me to a new amp or Components.
Although, I do have a questions about the power to the components. I have the front channels going to the mids and tweeters. Does that mean i am feeding a total of 75 watts to each mid and tweeter? So, 37.5 watts to a tweeter, and 37.5 to a mid? BTW, it's all through the passive crossover that came with the morels.
I'm just not sure if I can somehow get more power to the mids and tweeters. Am I running at 4 ohms or 2? If I am running at 4 how can I wire them to 2 and would that be a noticeable sound increase?
This amp does 100x4 @ 4ohms. https://www.crutchfield.com/p_530RS54500/Soundstream-Reserve-RS5-4500D.html
WOuld that be better quality sound in general? Soundstream vs pioneer??
Or would I be better off to get higher end components and keep the same amp? I can't do both.
thanks for any thoughts.
