Recommend 4 ch. amp wattage...?

[TONY206]

I have 2 Infinity 6.5" 3-ways @ 75 watts rms/225 peak (maybe 100/400, I'll check later) and 2 of these 4x6" @ 60 rms/180 peak. I'm looking to get a 4 channel amp to power these, how many watts should it be?

 

[TONY206]

I think I can get this one cheap on CL http://www.crutchfield.com/S-NhKGtM0yLJF/cgi-bin/ProdView.asp?search=HA1040&i=489HA1040 but IDK if it would work well. I am currently just running these off of my Pioneer deck rated @ 50x4.

No more best buy? I miss my car audio discount.

 

[I. Cold]

Well uh.. in my professional opinion, I'd suggest this bad boy http://caraudiosecurity.com/shop/product/products_id/4438/referer/rc_shopping.html

I WAS a professional installer. And I have replied in other car audio threads but I dont get much response from my suggestions. Plus, a lot of cats here seem to know their shit too.

 

[TONY206]

Well what I'm looking for is what wattage you recommend at least, but I will take that amp into consideration depending on if I can find it cheap.

 

[TONY206]

Ok I got that amp on ebay new for $112 shipped. Now I'm currently running this JBL 600 watt class D amp and 2 12' 1200 watt JBL subs with a 1 farad Stinger power cap. I have a high-output 240 amp (I believe that the correct amps) alternator. I don't think adding this new amp will cause any problems but should I take any precautions?

75-100 watts per channel.
JBL is terrible though. well, at least their amps are. their subs are good for the price, but I'm not a fan of JBL.
Which one did you get? the infinity?

 

[TONY206]

Yes I got the 7541A amp since you recommended it and I like Infinity. My 240 amp alternator should be fine right?

 

[I. Cold]

Yeah, man.. A 170 alternator would be more than enough.

 

[TONY206]

Yeah I figured so, just didn't have much experience with it. My 95 Impala/Caprice has the high output police alternator. This should really bring my component speakers to life.

 

[GHP]

as long as its the RMS of the total RMS of the said total of the speakers or more you should be fine. Key word RMS

I have a 900 watt 5 channel MTX AMP running my 2 MTX thinder 6500 10s and 4 Infinity 61/2s and it sounds great coming out of my premer deck with a little EQ depending on the CD I'm knocking pretty good on10 and the shit goes to like 40 or more

 

[gimpypimp]

The new JBL amps actually aren't too bad.

The GTO series is OK...but the BPX Power Series I like alot. It's a quality product.

I had the 1100.1 but ended up trading it for something different.

 

[NiNe2FiVe]

120 Amp alternator, 500-650 watt amp, there only midrange speakers, so it doesnt take too much to push them well.

That car has alot of electronics to run......
