[QUOTE="Gary S, post: 3253032, member: 568291"] Yes, sounds like you are clipping the head unit. I would get a four-channel amp and use the front two channels for door speakers and use the rear channels for sub(s). It's possible to run everything off a two-channel amp (tri-mode), but it won't really save you anything... you would need at a minimum passive crossover coils the size of soda cans and it won't sound as good or be as flexible as a four channel with the built-in electronic crossover. And four-channel amps are cheap these days... you can get a true 700 watt RMS amp for around $100.00 dollars today. Back in 89', I paid $500 wholesale for my first 4-channel amp. [/QUOTE]
