Why do you need 3 amps?

You should be fine with a good 4 channel amp with 4 channels that have proper component speakers.



So you're running 500 watts per 6x9?

It must be shitty equipment.



i gonna run 3 amps because i got 1000+ rms w on 10 speakers wich i cant run from 1 4 channel amp.

ye i could proppy buy 1 sick amp and wire it all on that, but thats not my plan when i can just buy a small amp for my fronts and it will be fine

no, im running 150+ rms w on each 6x9

wich of my stuff is shitty ? rockford fosgate / earthquake / jbl gto series ?

and anyway, its allways better to overpower than underpower ur system right ? and even if i had some extra W i dont make use of now, they will become handy when i upgrade my speakers next time, so i cant rly see the problem in having 3 amps ?

allso i been looking on a doorpanel fix for my car so i can put 2x 6.5 in the doors and mb another tweeter somewhere

You said the amp was a 2000 watt 4 channel amp, 2000/4=500. Since you're saying its only 150 watts, that makes the amp shitty.

its 2000 w max.. and 700-800 rms, since when does average amps put out same rms W as max w ?, ur using a crunch 1000.4 that puts out 500 rms w, so i guess since mine with at least 600 + rms w is shitty urs must be even shittyer ? no matther what the max w are, 600 rms w is 600 rms w ? correct me if im wrong plx

lets now say that u have 4 x 6x9" on ur crunch 1000.4 and u was getting 6-8 front speakers, wtf would u do ? take ur crunch 1000.4 and trow out to go buy some sickass amp that can take all at once, or would u buy a 2nd amp to run ur fronts and have volume setting for each pair of speakers instead of having 2-3 speakers on 1 channel ??

idk how u wire 12 speakers at 1 4ch amp and how much such one would cost when it had to send out 1300-1500 rms w's. ill just figured it would be easyer for me to buy a 2nd amp and have plenty of w so i wont underpower any speakers

idk if im just too high tonight or what, but to me it makes pretty good sense to buy a 3rd amp.. else plx tell me why and what i should do instead that wont cost me an retarded amount

no good amp displays its peak wattage on the amp/box.


/e

Sell everything.

Get RF 6.5" components, preferably T2's. Get 2 sets of them, for front and rear. Run them off a T600-4, or a T1000-4 if you can afford it. Put front speakers in kick panels.

That will sound 1000x better.

sell everything ? why would i waste money to get a worse system ? O_O

i would love too buy the t1000-4, but thats $1,439.99 for something i doesnt rly need yet, and even if i bough it i would need another amp cause 4 ch's and 1000 rms w isnt enough

i might get a set of t2 compos for front, but i rly dont think that 2x 75 rms watt can beat 600 rms w from 2x rf t1 6x9 + 2x jbl gto 6x9 in the back, that leaves me with 4 6x9's in the back running 1 amp at 600 rms w, im prolly going to change these with some better soon so we move at 700 rms or more

front running 2x35 = 70 rms w + 4x6.5" + 4x1" = 400+ rms w

that gives a total of 10 speakers and 1170+ rms w so far, so spending $1,439.99 on that woulndt help me much, since i would still need 200 rms w, then i coulld use my eq amp to power rest, but that would make it 3 amps anyway and waste of cash

if i bought an 500-600 rms w amp more i would have 1300+ rms w total on 8 channels, and for under ½ the price, + i will have 130 extra rms w for upgrades on fronts, how is that not better than spending $1,439.99 on 1000 rms w 4ch?

if u was upgrading like me i rly dont think u would spend 1.500 on new amps n shit if u could just do with buying a decent 2nd amp, if u had so many money and wanted to waste em and buy uber stuff what are u doing with a crunch 1000.4
