1st install, need design help...

Ok so here is a list of what I have:

Clarion (DB175MP) 21 rms 50 max x 4

Clif Design mids and tweets with crossovers 50 rms 100 max

MTX 10`` ( subMZS1004) 150 rms 300 max impedance 4 ohms

Boss (GT1000 mono) 850 max at 2 ohms 200 rms at 4 ohms


I plan to install my system in a 2001 nissan frontier king cab. I also plan to build a sealed enclosure for my sub.

Now here`s the question:

My deck will not supply enough power to my component speakers (or will it?). So should I use the amp I already have for my components and get a new amp for my sub? Or should I get a new amp for my component speakers?

any help you guys can give would be greatly appreciated.

thanks in advance.

First of all your amp is a MONO amp, it will not run your comp set, I sugest get a 2ch amp with about 50-75rms per ch and you will have a desent little set up .

X2 on the second amp for the comps, and get one with a high pass filter. Your comps will live a much longer life and sound much better.
