I have a pioneer head unit , 2 pioneer subs 1000Watts max each and 350RMS each sub, and a rockfor fosgate p8002 amplifier. I have bought some pioneer 4 way speakers 260Watts max, and I was wondering if those are any good, or should I not change my speakers, is it really that much better than stock? thanks

 

go with components

 

components? im a rookie lol

 

A speaker that does not have a tweeter mounted in the driver.

They will come with a cross over. Basically, a pair or components is really 4 speakers. 2 mid bass drivers and 2 tweeters with 2 crossovers.

 

To answer your question directly, those Pioneer coaxials will sound better than stock. Are they going to be powered off the headunit or amped?

 

well im planning on getting the spr-17s alpine speakers are those any good?, and im going to be running them to my amp, i have a p8002 ampand there is a + and a - open so should I just do that?

 

Component system =

 

These are components. They will also sound better than stock. They sport the Alpine name, so the quality can't be too bad. I have no direct experience with this exact set though.


I think I'm scared to ask, but what exactly do you mean? This is a 2 channel amp and you said in your OP that it is already powering your subs.

 

i took the two +'s put them into on slot then two -'s and put them into one slot now i have a + and a - open

 

right, but you can't run a stereo pair off of 1 channel of an amp.........you need to buy another amp. You can't run a pair of components and two subs off a 2-channel amp.

 

listen to oc192

 

OK, here are the specs on your P8002:
200W x 2 @ 4-Ohms RMS
400W x 2 @ 2-Ohms RMS
800W x 1 @ 4-Ohms bridged RMS

in order to bridge the amp, I hope you have your subs wired to a 4ohm load and have them connected to the speaker terminals I highlighted in yellow. The ones I "x" in red are useless because the amp is 'bridged' so all of its resources are being used by the drivers connected to the yellow terminals.



Conclusion, you will need another 2-channel amp to power your components.

 

Buy mine
