I have Alpine Type R 6.5 components up front and Alpine Type S 6.5 coaxials in rear. I have an Alpine MRV-F340, 55x4 rms or 130x2 rms. Would you run all speakers off 4 channels or run the Type R's bridged and the Type S's off deck power? Thanks for any input.

 

run all offf the amp

do you have subs as well ?

 

Yes. 2 Orion HCCA 10's on 2K ported @ 40 hz. Would you mind elaborating on why all 4 on the amp?

 

koool should sound better running all the speakers off that 4 channel

 

Ya? I was thinking the fronts would like the more power and it would be louder that way. I guess all 4 would be more balanced.

 

ya all of those speakers in theory should be rated at the same power so if u run them off the 4 channel everything should ballance out

 

Well I guess there is only one way to find out and try both ways. I think your way of thinking makes more sense now that I think about it.

 

in theory you would get a better signal out of that 4 channel then from deck power , online says the type r componants are 110 watts and the coax are 90 watts so both in the same ballpark for wattage , so that 4 channel should work nicelly powering them all

 

How much louder would the R's go on 130 rms or is that too much power?

 

says their rated at 110 rms so they should be fine on that , not sure what your going for as far as loudness goes the type r speaker is a pretty good sounding speaker
