I don't mind getting it a little used, like a good condition one off ebay. Looking for a clean 60-75W RMS x4... They're definitely gonna power my fronts, which are composed of these tweeters:

and some really old Altec Lansing ALS5 5" 2-ways.

I don't suppose that any 4-channel amp would be powerful enough to able push 2x 400W RMS 4ohm subs off a bridged rear channel, would they?? if there are any out there.. that'll save me the money from buying a separate amp for the sub.. but otherwise i'll use the other 2 channels for the rears..

what type of brands should i search for in this price range? specific models would be nice too. thanks!

 

Ha! Ha! HA!! Don't u wish they made such a thing. Closet thing u could do is get a 5 channel amp, but i doubt it cuz it's bank! Why push the fronts alone? You should be doing all 4 internal spkrs. Trust me...it's a lot better hearing the highs all over ur ryde. So either invest in a nice 5 channel amp, or go for a so so 2 channel amp for the fronts and either a 2 or mono channel amp for the subs. Good luck! btw...JL audio's 5 channel amps are pretty sweet!

 

yeah i'm pretty much set on having an amp just for teh subs. how does US acoustics compare to say, kenwood? the 4085 is pretty cheap.. 4 channels @ 85W, and they claim 0.03% THD and 95dB signal/noise. and it's only like $150 brand new. too good to be true? what's the catch?

 

What Type of Car do you speak of ljn? In a car like my teg, or a small sports coupe, having a set of components in the front and having no rear fill is optimal, imho. I like the way the imaging is set up that way. a Set of nice components and 110 wrms flowing to each side is enough to fill up that car

If we're talking a sedan here, then yep, get all 4 speakers.

 

what about in a hatchback?...just components up front?

 

Im using hatch/coupe in the same sense here.

I prefer to have just components up front. Like i said, if you've got some great components and have some high wrms wattage going to em, you'll never notice lack of rear fill

You may have some angry backseat passengers (because their imaging from back there will suck) but who cares, as long as it sounds good from the drivers seat.

 

you want a freaking nice 4 channel amp?
