hi just wondering what amp i would need to run front components and a sub cos i dont understand all the different typer of amps only lookin at spendin 150 on a sub and amp cheers.

[Ashleyp]

have you allready got front speakers? and for £150 what do you want for that? amp for components, sub and amp for sub?

[dobbo_1]

i have front comps already looking to get a amp to power the sub and the comps or will i need to seperate subs? cheers.

***2 seperate amps****

[Ashleyp]

2 seperate amps would be better

id get that as your sub amp package

and this for your components:

then obv wiring for second amp

for your budget thats not a bad package atall...

the only thing that i note with that sub package is the wiring kit is one 10AWG - you be far better off with a 8 AWG kit for just that.

Alternatively, get a 4AWG wiring kit and split the power to both amps (if you go for 2) in the boot :)

your correct mate.. i forgot to mention that.. what id do. is use the wires from that package to power the smaller amp for the components.. and buy a slightly better wiring kit for the amp thats going to power the sub

unless as noddy just suggested, you want to get a 4awg wiring kit and power both amps of that kit :y:

the latter option of just one kit is going to be far easier to install and will be less hassle as well as you only need to connect one cable to the battery, have one earth and only one remote lead to lay.

true.. i guess if you phone the company you could ask them to upgrade your wiring for an extra £10 or something.. and as said before.. will be easier to wire

how can you suggest an amp for his components when you don't know what components he has?
unless i missed something

fair point tbh

school boy error by me :wall:

[Predator_R32]

lol was gonna say

need the spec of the components mate

tbh you may be better with just a 4 channel amp with that kind of budget, just need the spec of your components then ill have a look about for you

[dobbo_1]

cheers for all the help boys and i have got jbl 1's with the tweeters and the main 5 n alf inch only got them coz i got them cheep they wont need much to power them a think

[Predator_R32]

cheers for the help am crap at this stuff:p

[Predator_R32]

im guessing you dont have the sub right??

so you need an sub and an amp to power that aswell as a second amp for powering the components??

for 150 i think you might struggle tbh mate, may be best for you to either get a 4 channel amp

or just get an amp for the components and then add suband mono amp later when you have a bit more money

[dobbo_1]

cheers pred will see what i can do gna find sumwer localy that will fit it all for me because i cant be arsd cocking it up:P mite be able to push the budget to 300 just found money i forgot bout:D

[Predator_R32]

[dobbo_1]
