3ohm Impedance Comps And Suggestions>

[maademperor]

So I've been considering these: http://sonicelectronix.com/item_4025_Bosto...tics+PRO50.html to replace my Infinity Kappa's up front (they sound pretty harsh sometimes and I've only ever heard good things about BA). They are listed at 3ohm impedance though, so should I be looking at the 4ohm RMS power spec amp to power them or should I expect them to pull wattage between the 2ohm and 4ohm rating the amp says it can provide?

Now, I also intend to move the Kappa's to the back and power them all off the same 4ch amp, with gain set especially low on the rear channel, can I feel safe buying a beefy enough amp to power the Boston Acoustics up front at 125watts RMS and the Kappa's in the rear at 75watts RMS?

and finally, any suggestions on a good 4ch amp for this? For the money, can I do better at that size and depth than the Boston Acoustics IYO?

thanks guys,

i really cant help u but r ur infinity kappa's for sale

not at this time, I'll try and remember to PM you if I decide to move them though...

nevermind I got my answer from crutchfield/Boston Acoustics CS

basically, more power is better. just operate at 4ohms and give as close to 125rms as possible...

I know a guy at a high-end(HIGH PRICED) local car audio shop and he is running the rockford power-1000 "25 to life" on those specific components and they scream the amp is "rated" at 50w x 4 @ 4ohm and 100w x 4 @ 2ohm but this is a rf amp so expect more hope this helps.

since those amps are extremely hard to get ahold of, I would go with the Rockford Fosgate Power T8004

cool, I'll look into that thanks for the info!

i had two sets in the front of my civic ran off a fosgate 1100a2 birth certifacate said 1670w ythey sounded amaising clear as hell they sound the best with some decent power going to them only thing is with the xovers tweets tend to shut off alot.
