I decide Im going to go with some MB Quart QSD216 Components, add a PCE164 or RCE164 Midrange(add a woofer option), and Im thinking about putting components in the rear to (I know it doesnt matter whats in rear, but it will bug me having nothing back there) probably some PCE216 Comps. Anyway I was just wondering the easiest way to provide power to all these, or what you guys recommend. Ill probably keep my RA1000 amp to run my 2 15 in. PWE's im putting in. But as far as powering all my speakers what do you suggest? Specs below...

QSD216 Components 90-170 watts power handling
RCE164 Midrange 60-130 watts power handling
PCE216 Components 60-130 watts power handling
(Silly question, but as long as I send power to x-overs that will power the tweeter right? I dont need to power it independently right?)

 

Never mind about rear components, decided against that. Probably a waste of money, but I will still be getting another MB quart Coaxial to fill rear and will need to power it with the same range as the comps on original post. Thanks.

 

Here are a couple great choices....



Attn...You would need two of the Phoenix Gold amps....

 

Thanks, any others you guys would recommend. Seen any good deals on amps lately?

 

 

Thanks, where do you guys usually shop for youre amps?

 

Depending what brand you want to go with check with Don (Pearl96Max). He carries Arc and Diamond Amps that I know of.

 

x2 on the Arcs

 

Arcs are good about not overheating right, Im always afraid of overheating, any problems there?

 

None at all, provided a well ventilated install.

 

I was looking at the Arcs, I was interested in the Kar400.4 to run the components(200x2@4Ohms) and the KAR600.4 to run the midrange driver and rear fill(100x4@4Ohms). Does that sound like a good setup. I kinda hate the idea of having 3 Amps in the car but seems there is no way around this. Does anyone have any good brands to recommend, I see split opinions on the web regarding the Boss, Hifonics, Lanzar, MA Audio, Sony, and Crunch amps, any recommendations on good brands that give the power they state?
