Posted on Thursday, May 24, 2012 - 13:30 GMT Ive been huge into car audio for about 3 years, basically since I started driving, and Ive built tons of boxes and done tons of installs, But I had to sell my buick, and I cant put anything in my truck, So my room is full of car audio stuff. My wimpy computer speakers suck, so I figured, hey why dont i just hook all this stuff up in my room!
One of my good buddies has a car system hooked up in his room, with 2 alts hooked up to an electric motor and a few AGM batteries, But Id rather just do it with some home amps.
I need an amp I can plug into my wall, that will push my 2 Fi Q 12's, and then another amp to power some 6x9's. I dont really care about quality at this point. I just need somethin to push them for not a whole lotta money. Any reccomendations? |

Posted on Thursday, May 24, 2012 - 15:23 GMT I use an EP4000 to power my Q18. 1850w 4-ohm 20hz RMS. You should be able to work out a good VC configuration to make that work. $350. That's about as cheap as you'll get without using a very low power amp. You can get a good amp with a fair amount of power (T-Amp I think) at Parts-Express ranging from $40-80, 15-50w/channel.
Using 6x9 in a home setting will likely require heavy EQ. I and others will suggest buying a pair of bookshelf speakers.
Up to you. |

Posted on Thursday, May 24, 2012 - 17:33 GMT I'm assuming you're using D1 coils based on your comment. The EP4000 will do 2-ohm stereo, 950w/channel 45v/channel RMS, well-known amp.
I mean that the 6x9 are engineered for car acoustics and you will need to use an equalizer to get them to sound right in a room. |

Posted on Monday, May 28, 2012 - 15:11 GMT hahahaha thats what im trying to avoid here. I could easily hook up a complete 12v system, but id rather just do it the right way |
