i am looking to install a amp.i need some rcommendations on a decent to good amp along with a good wiring kit.
my setup is a alpine headunit @18rms.
infinity ref 6x9@100 rms (rears)
infinity ref 5 1/4 components@75rms (front doors).
also can someone give me any advise on making brackets for the door speakers.
my car i a 96 grand-am gt 2dr,and they take 4x6 speakers so i'll be doing some modifications..
thanks

Well if you're wanting to amp the whole system off one amp you'll be wanting to look into something that will be in the 4ch. 300-400wrms range @ 4ohm.
Just the front stage a 2ch. 150wrms @ 4ohm
Might I recommend as far as the 5.25"s go... you may want to look into either buying or building as set of kick panels if you've got the room.

For the brackets, you can make MDF rings to put over the origional speaker hole or like Cargodz said, make/buy kick panels. To power all four of them speakers, it would be easiest with a 4-channel amp. 75-100rms x4 @4ohm like Cargodz has already stated.

What is your budget so we can get an idea of what you can get??

Check our brand ratings list to get an idea of what companies would be worth looking at and what to avoid..... http://www.caraudiocentral.net/forums/s ... d.php?t=32

Good catch Mike,

im just looking to find out about some ideas of brands and materials of speaker wire.if something sound good to me.price is not an issue.

Wiring.... I would just reccommend Knu Konceptz wiring. http://www.knukonceptz.com For what you get, it is a great price, and it is pretty good wire. This is what is in my Jeep now, and i have no complaints. Good company, and very fast shipping.

Price is always an issue if it really inst im sure i can find a 3000$ amp for you lol.
if your looking for a good full system amp check out the autotek 8000.5. 4 x 50 @ 4 ohm and 1 x 200 @ 4 ohm

what do you think about alpine amps?i found a 70rms 4ch amp for about $200.
i also have 14g speaker wire,but its nothing speacial.it is all copper.i bought it at home depot about 3 yrs ago.it worked great for my home system back then.do you know about any good patch cables to run from the amp to the hu?
