cheers matey thanx for the help :thumbs:

yea looks like an alright amp, you might wanna look up some reviews first though mate :)
although if you can afford to put a little more in, then i would...although like said before, if you get an amp thats throwing out 100wRMS etc (higher than waht you want) then turn down the gains on the amp a little..(the best way would be use a multimeter to measure the output etc).

i aint sure what amp, magnet scorpion that has 2 x 75rms, and that way i aint gonna be running over the rms power am i.

i dont THINK its possible to do it, since you need a 2ohm load and you do that by wacking the comps in a serial(?) connection (ie: + of one goes to - of other speaker and then you wire the +/- to the amp). Yet you will only get one channel this way.
(^^ the above may not be correct, so can someone else back it up etc if it is/isnt :))

As for 4ohm, your comps should be 4ohm's already (check manual etc) and it would be a simple case of wiring each channel (left & right) to the amp and your sorted :)

To be honest mate, just stick with a 4ohm load....even if it is possible to do a 2ohm load and have both channels it'll be more work than before :(

edit: as for cheaper amp mate, what amp have you got in mind for the fronts?

[Edited on 28-10-2003 by VisibleMan]

shall i not get a cheaper amp for the front??

some of them say 60rms at 4ohm and then 100rms at 2ohm, how do i run them at 2ohm and 4 ohm?

yea mate...
go for the sub'n'amp and amp for comps option.
Although it all depends what you budget is. If you have 370 squid to spare you could sort it all out - ie: from caraudiodirect.com, you can get the rockford sub kit for £199 and the Phoenix Gold R2.52 amp (for comps) then it leaves you with 30 quid to spend on cables(RCA's, speaker, Power)/Fuse Holders etc etc

Dom

fook me 300quid i was looking more along the lines of 100-150quid lol.

but then again, i was thinking today, i am gonna get a sub soon, so i mayaswell get sub and amp, take the 6x9's out, and get a small amp for the dopor speakerS??

or should i not do that?

Alpine MRV-F540 should sort you out for £300.:thumbs:

ttt

so how much should i expect to pay?

i might find one quick now and order it so its here by the weekend.

what do i need? amp and amp wiring kit?

Well to match gains perfectly you would use an osscilloscope, most people dont need to do that.

You will know what to do when you install the amp.

so how do i know how far to turn them down?? is there like numbers on them or sumthing?? or just do it by what i think?

the gains on the amp, basically, dont crank them right up, as the amp is matched and over rated to the speakers which you have.

Sorry for the not so quick reply.

sensibvle with the gains??

whats that about then??

cheers for the quick reply matey

get an amp of 4 x 100rms, and be sensible with the gains.

i have an alpine HU, audiobahn door speakers (85rms) and 6*9's that are 100rms. i want an amp, shall i get a 4 channel amp that does 4X100rms, and turn the front down abit? or can that not be done, and best going for 4X85rms??

also how much am i expecting to pay? any links direct would be great ;)

cheers
