4 way = overkill
5 way = beating a dead horse
Why don't you get some nice 2-way components instead? It'll sound a LOT better.
As soon as I get my new car, I will be putting my system back in! Im currently running 2 12 inch Alpine Type Rs being powered by a RF 900w Mono block. Ill be also adding underglow, and replacing the factory battery with a red top which was in my other car. I plan on buying a monte carlo which has a 104 amp stock alt. already. I will be swapping the front and rear speakers with 4-way pioneers in the front and 5-way in the rear. I was thinkin of adding a small amp just to push the speakers, but i was undecided if i wanted to add another one to push the subs also; Ill also be bypassing the factory amp! what would i need to add another amp and anyone kno any good small amps to add that are reasonably priced? Ill be wiring the big amp with this...
Help, Please!!!!![]()

i already have em, thats why, its true i wasnt impressed with the sound quality at all
but any other advice???????
So you're asking about what, a four channel amplifier? We can't really give you any reccomendations without the specs on the speakers your using, or what you consider a 'decent' price.
Ya, read the stickies at the top of the forum. Specifically this one: Have Car Audio Specific Questions?
Max power 460 watts
5-way 6"x9" speaker
Aramid fiber reinforced IMPP woofer with rubber surround
Polyester fiber semi-dome midrange
Power range 2-80 watts RMS
Frequency response 25-30,000 Hz
Sensitivity 93 dB
Top-mount depth 3-3/8"
Composite IMPP cone using interlaced aramid fiber
Heat-resistant voice coil
Glass-imide voice coil bobbin for higher power handling capabilities
11 oz Strontium magnet
Full-depth basket for longer excursion and richer bass
1 5/8" Midrange balanced dome
5/8" Tweeter
3/8" Super Tweeter
Woofer 160mm
Max Power: 260 Watts
Nominal Power: 50 W
Frequency Response: 30-33,000 Hz
Sensitivity: 91 dB
Impedance: 4 ohms
lets not worry about price, lets talk quality 1st
RMS (Nominal) power on those speakers is fairly low. An amplifier that can put out between 50-75 watts per channel should be fine. 'Quality' amps can be anywhere from $150 to thousands of dollars. I'll assume because of the speakers you have you're probably looking for closer to $100-$200, in which case some nice four channel amps to consider are ones by JL, Alpine, and others that i'm sure people will suggest.
how do i get them to run at max power? and if i add this other amp what am i gonna need? will it drain my battery? lemme kno! thanks![]()
more importantly, WHY do they have to run at max power??Is it a race?
