No intentions of installing a sub anytime soon. I'm not running any channels atm. my stock speakers are fucked. my door drains got clogged and flooded my doors. The stock head unit still works. But im switching that out, too for an in dash screen
Ok, so if you aren't doing spl power etc, I would swap the speaker out and see if you even need an amp. If you do, shoot for an ab amp , as they sound the cleanest.
Most bang for the buck comes from speaker sensitivity and low ohms.
The dash I'm going to most likely buy has a built-in internal amp (16 watts RMS CTA-2006/50 peak x 4 channels)
See where you are at with that.
As you aren't doing anything big, if you need to run an amp most of the major brands like Kicker, jl, Kenwood, will all work just fine. I don't personally like the way pioneer sounds, but they do rated wattage.
I would avoid brands like dual and the newer orions.
I have some clarion amps that were the old ARC audio designs, 170 W RMS x4 and they sound really nice.
Oh, and that cerwin vega sub amp combo is super small but has a really great output. Shockingly so.
how long have you had yours?
5 years or so.
I have quite a few vehicles with systems in them, my boat is an 8KW monster with 6 subs and 20 hdlc speakers.
