Amp advise

Featured Replies

Hi

I'm a Pioneer man and I have one par of TS-G171C, 35 RMS watts, in the front and

I have TS-A6911, 80 RMS Watts, in the rear deck.

I'm running them of my head unit for now DEH-3900MP.

I was planing of getting an 4 channel amp for them but than I thought, is it better

to buy 2 channel amp for the rear and run the fronts on the head unit.

So my question is witch way should I go?

You will be much better imo selling the rears and amping the fronts.

when you goto a concert where does the music come from?

The amp in the HU will realistically be giving about 12 watts, a proper amp will improve the system a lot. if you want to keep the rears then run them off the HU but at a lower volume known as rear fill.

A two channel amp will allow you to just power your front speakers. however if your thinking about a sub or more in the near future you could buy a 4 channel and bridge the rear channels to run the sub at a latter date instead of buying another amp.

Id pop over to talkaudio and ask a few questions on there forum as they will be able to advise you much better on amps, setting it up, and general information.

If you amp everything, you'll lose the fader capability unless I've read the specs of your headunit wrongly.

Even so, I'd suggest getting a 4 channel amp as the system will sound better and go louder with everything amped up, especially on the motorway.

Thanks guys, I've decided to buy 4 channel amp, and I don't care really about the fader because I want it to be even all around the car.
