1. Not a problem //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif2. Ohhh, "plentiful" thats a cool word

Hehe.

More Qs (they never stop), what box would you recommend for these 2 Shivas?

Oh, and what is this amp kit you speak of? Can't seem to find it.

Just thought of another: will these powerful subs overpower my sony 5x7 two-way speakers in the front doors running off the 40Wx4 headunit (that's what the faceplate says)? Is that in peak or RMS watts? I plan to unplug the rear speakers when I get subs. Right now all they play is bass anyway (I have pioneer's FIE option on). Do I need to run my sony 5x7s off a 4-channel amp (EDIT)? Sony says that my speakers are rated for 40W RMS.

1. Whatever Adire Reccomends.

2. The amp kit is this one:

3. Overpower the fronts, no, you will need to adjust the gain and such

4. 40X4, thats PEAK. prob 10-15 W RMS

5. Sony's off what amp ?

Thanks.

I meant something like, should I get a 4-channel amp and power my speakers off of it? Or is that even worth it?

4 channel, shure. Thats if you want to spend more money

40W rms can be eaisly done with an amplifier

 

[dan7532 10+ year member]

With what amplifier? Should I get one 4-channel to power my speakers and my subs or should I get one 800W amp for the subs and one 40W for the speakers? Do I really need to amplify my speakers if I never turn them up REALLY loud (I never turn it up as much as all of my friends do). I've never made my speakers distort bad enough for me to notice (I'm a noob, so I don't have the best ear at listening for distortion).

I think he was just replying to the first post without reading the rest of the thread.

Can you answer my previous question(s) please?
