thanx, im using only two speakers and the money is tight, is there a chance i could get 2 way/stereo amp with pretty high wattage at reasonable cost, lets say no more than $100.

hi i have car stereo which has specification as follows;Alpine 9847 with 50*4 watts(18rms) running in to 4 ohm, 260watt/80rms speakers, speakers are connected directly to the HU without an amp. Is that suffiicient? I figured with this system i'm getting 9 watt per speaker with 4ohm, there's no chang...

Take a seperate wire run it directly from the head unit to your speakers, don't even mess around with runing it through the doors,etc.. just connect the two and see how it sounds..

Are you running an external amp? tedd i'm not using any external amps yet, i was thinking to get two in the future, one stereo amp for my speakers and one mono for my future sub. what do you think of amp brands such as mtx/alpine/kenwood? what co...

well i'm using 16 guage wire and it creates distortion.

sorry for the post, thanx for the info.

How many ohms will i get by using 14 guage wire, the wire is 16' in lenght connected to 2 coaxial speakers(120watt max/80 watt rms, each). What would be the best choice to run my coaxial Speakers(120watt max/80 watt rms 4 ohms, each), in other words what guage wire should i use? Do speaker wires com...
