New member Username: OnedarkchildPost Number: 5 Registered: Apr-06 | Rovin, thank you for that website! As per the material just read, i should get a class A/B amp for my speakers, and a class d for the subs. Im still looking to find the right amps for my system. I dont need any outragious system, just something better than i have. I bought new speakers when i knew nothing about car audio, so my head unit doesnt have enough power to run the speakers. The speakers i bought are as follows: Back: Pioneer TS-A6991R 6"x9" 5-way 460 Watts Front:Pioneer TS-A4670R 4"x6" 3-WAY 120 watts I need to find an amp that will sufficiently power these speakers. I want to know all the options, high end to low end. Im also looking into subs an and amp for them. This i have no idea how to choose. I have a 2003 Grand AM SE1. And only plan on having the car for a max of 2 years, so i dont need top of the line, just decent enough. Any and all suggestions are welcome |

Gold Member Username: RovinTrinidad & T... Post Number: 7302 Registered: Jul-05 | well as u may have also read maxx watts r meaningless so u need 2 look @ wrms . If u want an amp 2 power those u need a 4 channel amp - but personally i would have NOT gotten that brand , not too hot u know . Instead i would have bought ONLY a pair of 6.5" component speakers around $100/pair & gone with a 2 channel amp on it . If u dont want too much heavy bass buy like either a kicker cvr or alpine type R 12" sub & a MONO channel amp like a JL 500/1 amp & get a ported box for it . Just a quick idea above ^^^..... |

Gold Member Username: RovinTrinidad & T... Post Number: 7317 Registered: Jul-05 | well i'm not really a "pro" but i try 2 eduacate myself as much as possible on car audio related stuff & do my hook ups as best as i can https://www.ecoustics.com/electronics/forum/car-audio/189456.html if u read ppl giving bad or so/so reviews on a product i would NOT buy any . Orion makes decent amps so hell yea - buy a 2 or 4 chan amp 4 ur speakers & a MONO 4 ur sub/s ... OH - ALWAYS REMEMBER THIS IN CAR AUDIO DO IT RIGHT THE 1ST TIME & u GET WHAT U PAY FOR ! .......... |

New member Username: OnedarkchildPost Number: 8 Registered: Apr-06 | im not to sure what 5-way entails either, i pretty much copied and pasted. Keep in mind that i am a girl, and my uneducated thought process was 'oh look, they are pretty' But there is 5 place in the speaker in which sound does come out, maybe that is why it is referenced to as a '5-way' speaker. Any way, im still in seach of the right amp for me, and my pioneer speakers  |

Silver Member Username: CtmikeCt. Post Number: 237 Registered: Feb-06 | i have the same kenwood 4 way amp your thinking of. not the best and a little overrated, but it's a nice small amp. and stay away from pioneer speakers. i know cause i got them and i hate them. if you put any size amp to them they'll blow real quick. i'd try to return them or sell them if you can. and if you do get new ones next time don't fall for the fancy 4 or 5 way names on them. you don't need anything more than a 2-way 6x9. |

New member Username: OnedarkchildPost Number: 9 Registered: Apr-06 | Yea, that is exactly what i need, a nice... small... amp. Next year, when i trade in the Grand AM, and get a wrangler, i'll go for the top of the line system. But for now, im sick of listening to music out of 4 blown speakers, and one blown tweeter. Thanks guys! |
