Str8Bumpin Posted June 3, 2011 Report Share Posted June 3, 2011 (edited) I was wondering what kind of amp (Brand, Model, Wattage, Channels) I should get to power two sets of these components My link . I know I'm asking for a lot but I'm new to this I'm trying to learn/teach myself about car audio. Also, If I was to run an amp to these components would I run it to the tweets along with the 6.5's? or do you run the amp to the crossover and that splits the power? #clueless.

Str8Bumpin Posted June 3, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 3, 2011 Also what size wires should I run? Sorry for the double post. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DannyV18 Posted June 3, 2011 Report Share Posted June 3, 2011 (edited) Get a 2 channel amp, like a sundown sax 125.2 and run each side off it's own channel. The crossover will distribute the power. All you have to do is set the subsonic/high-pass filter on the amp to your liking and the crossover will take care of the rest. Edit: Oops my bad, didn't see you said 2 sets of the comps.

DannyV18 Posted June 3, 2011 Report Share Posted June 3, 2011 The set should come with it's own wires to run from the tweets and woofer to the crossover, but for the crossover to the amp i would just go with some 12 gauge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DannyV18 Posted June 3, 2011 Report Share Posted June 3, 2011 Didn't catch that you wanted 2 sets of components. Why 2 sets though? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Str8Bumpin Posted June 3, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 3, 2011 Didn't catch that you wanted 2 sets of components. Why 2 sets though? I was thinking about running one set per door. do you think that'd be overkill if I had some decent 12's or 15's? I'm not sure what brand yet I just know that my shitty Kenwood KFC-W3012 12"s aren't cutting it. One more question would these be 2 or 4 ohm?

DannyV18 Posted June 3, 2011 Report Share Posted June 3, 2011 (edited) When they say a set of components, you know they mean 2 woofers and 2 tweeters right? If aligned correctly, one set can get pretty loud. I don't know if they would "keep up" with a couple 12's or 15's, but they would do pretty well IMO. The headroom from running 2 sets would be nice though. Are you fiberglassing your doors? Most car audio comp sets are 4 ohms.
