What kind of amp? (2 CH)

[oneill584 10+ year member]

Hey guys,

Here's my setup so far.

HU: Pioneer DEH-6000ub

Front: Pioneer Components 6.5" TS-C1653

Speaker Amp: BLAUPUNKT THA-275 (75 rms x2)

I still need subs, and an amp.

What kind of power should I be looking at to match this system so far? I'd like to stay under 350 for both the subs and the amp. I listen to a bit of everything, from rap to rock you name it. I want something loud, but I don't need to be showing off in front of people in a parking lot. Just something that bumps and is loud and would sound nice with what I got so far.

Thanks a lot,

Mark

P.S. Car is 05 Mitsubishi Galant, if that means anything.

well it depends on what you really want. Are you going for that Best Buy car audio kind of setup (blaupunkt, pioneer etc.)? Not to flame ya but you could definately go with better and still pay a cheap price. Do you really want subs(plural) or would you be willing to go with one? For your price range going with one and being able to get a little bigger amp might be better. For $350 you could do sumn like a Jl13.5w1, which are priced fairly, are very efficient and sound really good. ALso are you only looking to buy new? Theres many options and your post is kinda vague.

Destined, thanks for the reply.

Well I decided to go used with everything so far, so of course used is not out of the picture AT ALL.

I really wanted a 2x10 or 2x12. Prob. 2x10, 2x10 might be a bit roomy in my trunk.

I mean, what I already have is going to sound light years better than what I have now, so I don't need TOP of the line so to speak. I am new to car audio, so for my first setup, I don't mind having the best buy setup.

Of course I will upgrade eventually...

What do you guys recommend? 2x10 or 1x15? 1x12?
