New member Username: Deadkat99Post Number: 1 Registered: Oct-07 | I have a jvc kd-sx9350 head unit in my 99 dakota small cab pickup. I have just purchased a set of Infinity kappa 5.1 perfects for it and I am wondering what kind of amp I should buy. also most reviews I have read about these speakers say I will probably want a sub and I am wondering if I need to purchase an amp with enough power for a small sub as well as the speakers. Im not a huge bass fan and I dont want to rattle the bed of my truck I just want a nice clean loud sound. also money is an object. but mostly I just wanna know what it will cost to get a nice sounding system in my truck. Another concern I have is whether or not ill even need to add extra power to my sub or if possibly my head unit could power a small one enough to keep up with the mid and high power I will get from the infinity kappas. thanks peas nik ps Only the head unit is installed im thinking of waiting on the speakers until I purchase my amp and possibly a sub. pps ive only been reading up on car audio for a week so I dont know diddly squat and all help is appreciated! |

And a 2 channel amp is what you need for the speakers. I'll give you this link right now since your next question will probably be "what brands of amplifiers are good": https://www.ecoustics.com/electronics/products/articles/329117.html |
