Just sold my vz thunder 6 and bought a vz calais!
car already had a decent sound system which included
2x rocksford fosgate P3D4-12 punch series subs - 600w rms 1200 max.
7" jvc headunit (garbage)
rockford fosgate Power1000 1400 Watt 5-Ch. Limited Edition Amp (Rockford Fosgate® - Power1000)
and rockford fosgate speakers in the rear top shelf. (dunno exact model).
ive already bought some add ons to this which are as follow,
AVH-P3350BT pioneer touch screen headunit
alpine type r 6.5" component speakers - rms 110w peak 330w
PDX-4.100 alpine amp.
my question is do i need to use the 2nd amp i bought to run the new set of speakers awsomely haha.
the guy at autobarn said i should get a 2nd amp and run both my speakers off it and my subs of the amp that come with the car, but i have a feeling that the amp i got which seems really good will have enough go in it to run both sets of speakers and the 2 subs, im guessing 5 channel amp means u can run 5 diffrent things? (got no idea about this stuff) e.g the 2 subs and 2 sets of speakers means there is 1 chanel free? or does it!!!
please help me out.
im new to this shit toofirst post.
cheers.
you always getting better sound of running separate amps.
I'm not expert but whilst people say that sep amps 'sound bette' its marginal that most people could pick the difference in the real world
.Your amp is very good. Here are the tech specs for it.
Rockford Fosgate® - Power1000
All that Amps do is power the speakers. Good amps power them cleanly and can output the power to maximise potential volume.
The Rockford Amp, as I read it, can run 4 speakers front and rear and one sub. Not sure hows he's running 2 subs and 4 speakers off it (altho you dont mention the front speakers that you're replacing).
I think you might be a bit underpowered with just the one amp and 4 sets of f/r and 2 subs.
Perhaps run the front and rear off the current amp and use the new alpine in 'bridged' mode to run the subs.
