Gday.

I have a TP with an Alpine 9815 headunit (60x4 28WRMS) with amped 6" Sony 3ways in the front (getting components soon). Neways in the back I have 2 Alpine 3way 6x9s and a 12" Sub. I have 2 more subs and an amp for them seperatley and would like some advice on wether it would be better to have 3 subs and the 6x9s running off the head. OR 2 subs and have the 6x9s amped?
The 6x9s go pretty harsh at the moment with no distortion up loud and I have been reccomended both setups by people at caraudio shops... :confused:

Thanx for ne help!

i would say amp both, if you want max sound quality

if not, amp the subs

1 sub is plenty.......amp both...... :nuts:

Just wire one of your subs up toy uor computer, it gives it a bit more kick.

haha cool....I already have 4 subs on my computer....I love bass what can I say. I have 2 subs in my other car and that puts out heaps better bass quality than just one by itself. I do want sound quality so I'll brob go with 2 subs and amp the 6x9s and maybe put coils on them to cut out the highs that muck up the staging.

But just incase I decide I have enough $$$ to amp the 6x9s and have 3 subs, how much roughly is an Alpine (or similar quality) 2x60-100WRMS amp?

Thanx 4 the help.

Old Alpine V12 2 channel MRV-T320 $499 80WRMSx 2. Dude really you dont need all that power for the 6x9's. Something as small as a 35WRMS or 40WRMSx 2 amp will do and im sure off your headunit you are running them through a HPF so just save your money and but 1 big sub.. like a IDMAX or 9915 something. :D

Just wire one of your subs up toy uor computer, it gives it a bit more kick.


OH YEAH! how did it turn out?

The computer goes off. Iv got a Hercules Gametheatre 7.1 with 1x Hercules 510 5.1 speakers, and 3x Logitech z340, I used to have an old 100w 240v amp with a sony12" in a box going aswell. The sony went off its head, playing games with meaty machinegun sounds, it was awesome. I ended up sellin the sub to my bro cause the amp died. I totally recommend having a 12" sub behind your back when playing counterstrike, nothing else like it!

Oh yeah Iv decided that Mr ©harisma is pretty right in saying that the 6x9s dont really need much more than 30WRMS, I amped them with 75WRMS and there was not a lot of diff, a bit louder but it could be matched by the headunit. Im putting the dual sub box in tomorrow with a cap (1fd) and a 2channel 800w Fly amp (I know its not great quality but its good bang for buck).
