What amp? 4,6,8 ?

[iPrey]

I have a 2004 Nissan Maxima with factory Bose speakers... 2 in the front doors, 2 tweeters up front, 2 in back doors and 2 in rear deck.

Without replacing the speakers... What amp is recommended? Do I have to have a 6 channel or can I go 4?

Next.. WITH replacing the speakers.. which brand is recommend and which amp then?

Currently I have a kenwood dnx 994s headunit

Thanks

I wouldn't recommend any aftermarket amp for the stock bose speakers.

Depends on your speaker budget.

Depends on what speakers you go with.

If you have time for some recommendations... please do.

Something under 1000 $$ for speakers

well #1 we normally don't use rear speakers #2 we use subs.. way to get best sound is use 1 sub even in small box to make bass and use hp xover on other speakers so they don't distort and play louder.. so u could get 1 4 channel amp power good set of speakers in front with like 100rms each bridge rear channels to sub, it'll sound better.. if u get after market hu u could replace rears with cheaper coax (or just mids no tweets), run rears speakers off hu power, so u would have sound in back just no where near as loud as front speakers which is what u want..

2004 Maxima's I believe already have an amp powering the main speakers... I had a 04 Maxima SL I bought new and I remember it sounded fine when I just added a sub and a sub amp. If you dislike the sound of the mains I would get all new speakers and add an aftermarket amp.
