Do a need a 4-channel amp for 2-220W front & 2-300w 6x9 speakers
Yes of course guys, 4-channel will be great for the sound.
However, running short of money a 4-channel amp is really expensive even for a unsed. what about i power the 2 front speakers(220w peak, 45 rms) with the headunit (which offers 22w rms, 52w peak), then power the pair of 6x9 rear speakers with an amp? will the sound of front speakers worse quite bit than the rears'? if it was, i have to go for a 4-channel anyway however, on the box of the headunit, it show the connection that using the headunit to power the front and use the amp to power the rears. is it a regular or routine connection method? Thanks! |
I would recommend amplifying the speakers, most head units just dont have the power to keep your speakers out of distortion and moderate/high levels. if you look hard enough there are plenty of good deals on 4 chan amps
|
What a lot of people do is run only front speakers.
Depending on what you have for front speakers, I would power the front's with the amp and power the rears off the deck for rear fill. |
If you are getting a 2 channel amp, use it to run the fronts and leave the rears on deck power.....why, you ask??....because you want the cleanest sound closest to your ears....:smilie_da
Having said that, there should be a few different 4 channels in the classifieds you can get for around $100 or so that will take care of all of them....:D |
Here's a link to the classified's. There is lot's for sale and at great prices in most cases.

What is the make and model of the speakers you're looking to amplify?
At only 45W RMS, I'm going to venture a guess that they're entry level co-axial speakers... 45W isn't that much. Finding a decent amplifier for that small amount of power should be relatively easy. The problem may be the quality of the speakers, and how well they truly handle power. The first amp that came to mind was a Clarion. MTX and Pioneer are two brands that should have low output amps for your application. |

MTX and Pioneer are two brands that should have low output amps for your application. this is RMS, so the amp should offer at least 50w RMS per channel, right? or the sound will burst and distort all the time. and my 300w 6x9' are Pioneer's 3-way my stereo is Sony GT220. 52Wx4 at peak Thanks all replies! |
