Amp recomendation

freeskier44 · 01-11-2007, 06:26 PM

I just purchased a head unit and speakers. I have realized it would be much better to run the speakers off of a separate amp instead of from the head unit. Im looking for an adequate reasonably priced amp that will run the speakers well.

Head unit:
Pioneer DEH-P4900IB

Speakers:
Front Pioneer TS-D901P
Rear Pioneer TS-D701P

Once again i am looking for amp recommendations to run these speakers.
Also any other tips on installing this equipment in my 4runner is welcome.

thanks alot

what's reasonable priced to you? are you planning on a sub later on?

im gettin the basics in now
im looking for something that will run the 4 speakers well
the price is the price

im currently going to be running a 8 in kicker woofer in the stock sub position off an old amp i have laying around

i will upgrade to subs after i get the PC done

if you can't give a quote on the price, it's verry hard to recommend something. What's cheap to one person might be expensive to an other..... By the way, basics is frontstage, not front and rear..... By the way, why do you wanna install speakers in the back (from an SQ point of view)

sorry im pretty new to this stuff

SQ?

$200-350 is a good price range on the amp

SQ is short for Sound-Quality....

so unless you just want some music in your car I would read up some more on SQ. I'm not really informed on US prices, so I'll let this one to someone who knows the US prices on equipment.

you can get pretty nice equipment for $300-400. if you can find a used ('oldschool') soundstream reference 4 chan amp, i'd jump on that. you can get an elemental design's 4 chan amp for under $300 (4x65). a used xtant 604x or phoenix gold zx475 are all great amps for under that price range

ooh ooh bravo on the SS!!! The PG is nice too but personally I'd go for the SS, just because of the easy integration-possibilities. Price on the SS seems a little high though....
