at the moment ive got a 1600w 4 channel ebay flog off but it does the job. ano that its not neccessarily power ratings that matter but im after something 800w +, to run a 1000w max 400w rms pioneers sub, and a set of 300w max infinitys 6x9s, im thinking kenwood as ma mates got one and it only 300w but it makes my nose itch with bass.

the amp must have full anti interference, my current amp picks up every sound inside the car, including the engine noise, the exhaust note and the cd player motor.

ive ot about £140 max,

someone on here is selling a directed 1100d amp, theyr really good amps and give 1100 wrms, more than enough!

[Jonezy]

thanks guys but i was really after a kenwood. after sein ma mates totally standard system with the kenwood sub and amp, i want a kenwood amp now. ae there any you can recommend, to run 6x9s at at least 150w and the sub at 400 +.

any other very well known brand such as alpine or pioner will be ok i think. tranna stay away from cheaper amps.

is this amp any good, or will this underpower my sub as its 400w rms and 1000w max, this will be used ion 6x9s aswel

[bassboy]

firstly u have a problem if the amp picks up all that noise...and secondly, you should buy my amp

this seems ok for you

if you find it cheaper let us know and we'll beat it no problem!

bassboy

[Jonezy]

cheers, na all ma earths are fine,
its just a cheap fleebay amp so no anti interference
what do i expect for £30

so that will run ma speakers at 200 each and the sub at 400 or does it not quite work like that

[bassboy]

it will give each speaker 60w and the sub about 150w

bassboy

[Jonezy]

oh, is that any good? doesnt sound it kind of defies the opoint relly as its only as powerful a ma head unit then, owell, cheers for the help m8

[bassboy]

this is an rms figure and not a peak figure like headunits are

bassboy

[Jonezy]

o thats a bit beter. do you knw of any amps which can run, as i said before the sub at 250+ and the 6x9s at about 100 each, or will that kenwood o it ok.

is that jbl one any good, the power ratings seem ok. any pros / cons of it

[martyc]

the jbl is pretty good but is fairly budget brand and it is true with ice that you get what you pay for....
i never use kenwoods after seeing my mate's stuff, i don't like em at all, but its each to their own i guess
running an amp in 3 channel mode is never ideal unless it is specifically designed as a dedicated 3 channel amp, and they tend to cost a lot for good un's
have you thought about using two amps? get a monoblock for the sub and a small-ish two channel or even better a four channel so you can power front and rear speakers?
bear in mind it is better to amplify your fronts than it would be your 6x9's for clarity and sound quality.

[mikeysabes]

WHS^^^

Sell that JBL one quite a bit, and never had a return on JBL, they keep running and running

[martyc]

yeah i've never had a problem with one reliability wise either they just aren't the greatest of amps out there and i would rather save and get something better than a four channel, or use it for its intended use, and run four speakers of it or a pair and use a dedicated mono block amp as they aren't as pricey as they used to be.

[Jonezy]

suppose, would two amps put more drain on ma battery than one big one.
sum1 recommend me a pair of amps then, probs 2x100w and a 1x400/500w for the sub. both must be same manufactuer as i hate mixing makes

[mikeysabes]

http://www.dvbcaraudio.co.uk/product/To ... l_Amp.html bridge it for your sub about 300 wats rms

http://www.dvbcaraudio.co.uk/product/To ... l_Amp.html - 2 channel about 100 watts rms each

thats £123.85 to your door, so just under your budget,

or theres the JBL option of a 300 watt mono block and a 75.2 2 channel amp which is about £180 inc delivery

[Jonezy]

toxic amps anygood. reliability etc, bass, sound quality. does it have any bass boost / croosovers, or other crap

[Jonezy]

the ad definatly sells it to me, does anyone here use them connectors so you only have to use one amp power cable as i cant be arsed wirin in another wiring kit, the rcas are alreddy there any sorted.

the reviews seem quite reasonable

any other comments

[doRSet lee b]

dont get kenwood, they pants. pyle amps are good. they are usually on ebay as they are imported from america and are used for competition use. good crisp notes and the bass is sweet without distortion and can be adjusted easily using remote bass boosters. i got one imported from america at a very cheap price (100 quid i think) and was so amazed by the quality that my local car audio place started importing them in.

[Jonezy]

in other words wil i need 2 wiring kits or will my one wiring kit and a distribution block do the trick?

[bassboy]

if u use a d/block you will need to use 4gauge cabling from front to back and then 8 gauge into the amps

[Jonezy]
