I have a Pioneer head unit (DEH-P5100UB)
-50 watts peak with 22 RMS

Set of Pioneer 4X6 in the dash(TS-A4672R)
-3 way
-4 ohms
-Peak power 150 watts
-RMS power range 35 RMS

And a set of Kenwood 6X9 in the sail panels(KFC-6982ie)
-5 way
-Peak power 500 watts
-RMS power range=90

I wanted to know what is the best amp for my setup. In the future i am planing on installing one 10" sub in the spare tire storage area. I don't know if i should get an amp for my speakers then an amp for my sub.

-I want something that will last
-I don't want anything cheaply made
-I want something what will work well with my speakers and headunit and not make my speakers wear out in a rediculous amount of time(1 year or more)

I know that's a lot to ask but please help me!

 

nobody?! well anyway i was looking at an alpine, i think 500 watts.

 

What's your budget? If you go with a sub I would recommend two amps.

You could get a single 5 channel amp to run everything but for a decent one you're looking at $650 and up.

 

yea that 5 channel amp for $650 is kinda ridiculous...What amp would you recommend for the speakers themselves?

 

A good quality 5 channel will run you $650 and up (Arc KS or DLS).

Again it comes down to budget....What's yours??

I do like the Sundown Audio 4 channel - it's on sale for $250 I believe at diymobileaudio.com.

Sundown is a small company that builds very good amps. They have a very loyal following. Look at the


This is way out of your price range....BUT DAMM it's nice

who the hell would pay 3k for an amp....

 

Their sub amp is over $2000

Obviously they are the Bentley/Rolls Royce of car amps.

When I competed in IASCA car audio 13 years ago, I had about $20,000 in car audio alone in my car

 

my suggestion would be the high end JL 500 watt amp i paid 700 here in canada but im sure you can get it way cheaper in the states after buying this amp i'll never buy anything else

 

chrissmith,

The entry level Alpines are fine amps. I use 2. A F300 for the 4 channels and M500 for sub. Good and really cheap. I think crutchfield even has them on sale now.
