i already have a kenwood cd player, 4x6s, 6x9s, (2) 10s and a 600w 4ch amp bridged going to the 2 subs.
question is: i have a 600w 4 ch, boss amp layin around, should i just hook the 4x6s, and 6x9s to the amp or continue to run them from the cd player? the whole interior is out of the car now.
the speakers are wired with 12 guage now, probably overboard but better than what was in there. i just want the cleanest sound possible. i will also replace the boss amp with a low watt kenwood 4ch amp someday if i do go the amp route.

would there be a noticable differance?

 

An amplifier will provide more RMS power to the speakers from the start. A typical head unit will have 15/20w RMS and peak at 35/40 watts. An amp can provide higher more reliable power at a lower volume and not distort usaully 50+ RMS for an amp.
This will allow the music to play louder and more clear at a lower volume, volume at 10 on the head unit with an amp will sound like volume @ 30 without an amp and generaly will be clearer with no or less distortion . If you have it you might as well use it. This should give you the results you want clean and loud.

 

thanx,
i tried to move this over to the audio board, wouldnt let me delete the post like i have before
well off to wire up the power seats now
then maybe do the amp later tonight
