Howdy all, I dont post much and I love the search option. This forum has helped me a ton in the past. I am finally going to update my system, its all stock, no nav. What do you pros think about this setup?

Front - Infinity Reference 6020cs 6-1/2" component
Behind - Infinity Reference 6022si shallow coaxials
Zenclosure Box
Sub - Image Dynamics ID10D2 V.3 - Image Dynamics 10" Dual 2 Ohm V.3

Based on this info, what Amp do you suggest I look at? I am not trying to blow the doors off, just strying to stage a nice powerful sound that would compliment house/rock etc...I am kind of in the dark as far as amps are concerned, and would not know how many channels/wattage/ohms i would need. I am not switching out the head unit either. I would like to keep a nice clean stock look.

Any feedback is appreciated, I def need some help with this issue, I dont to install something that will not look flush (the door speakers supposedly fit according to crutchfield)

thanks a ton whomever answers this thread, I truly appreciate it, here is a pic of my ride , I dont think I have ever posted it.

I got those same components and coax (I dont have the shallow but the regular). I have the Alpine 100 x 4 (forget the model number) to run the components. I have the fade to the front a lil bit becuase those rears are so close to my head (roadster). I love them. I can crank them up as loud as I can bear and get no distortion.

Ill be lookin for a sub and amp to push that soon but havent really shopped around.

I also still have the stock HU, but will be gettin DVD when I buy my sub/amp because I dont think the stock HU can be connected to 2 external amps.

 

I would look into the new alpine amps as well. I am a big fan of JL audio though and only use their amps/subs. The new alpine amps are nice though because they are extremely small and are stackable, which helps for the tight areas in our cars.

 

How about this one?

Infinity Reference 5350a
5-channel car amplifier
50 watts RMS x 4 + 150 watts RMS x 1


Where can the amp go w/o cutting up the car?

Looks like I can send 50w to four speakers and 150 to the sub when I decide to grab one. Is that true with this amp? Will there be a noticeable difference in the output of the speakers with just 50w? Again, I am not looking to enter any competitions :P just want to enjoy my music. Thanks for any input, its a real big help.

 

My amp was able to fit under my seat. I looked briefly into the 5 channel amps but decided against it because I may have wanted more power for the sub than those can give. But I think for the purpose of building a simple and better system than stock a 5 channel isnt a bad way to go (some of them are really just a 4 channel with an extra momo amp on the same chassis..mebbe the kicker does that? I think thats a better way to go so try to look for that). Just make sure the sub you get isnt a monster that needs tons of power to work properly, otherwise the smaller amp will be a waste on it.

 

under the seat huh? yeah that would work. thanks for your input. I think i am going to go with the 5 channel. a sub wont happen until later, and when i do, its going to be a 10, so i wont need any mega wattage for it to get a lil kick.
