Ok, well here's the situation:
I have 2x 200w Sony Xplod 3ways, and a dual voice coil 500w (1000w max) (ha!) 10" BOSS sub. I'm guessing I'll need a four channel amp and a two channel amp? Ie. the 4 channel amp to power the sub with the bridged channels, and the 2 channel amp to power the 6x9s?
If I'm right, then I need to know - what would be the best value for money amplifiers I can get? I'm not out there to deafen myself, I just want good sound quality that isn't going to blow itself up after 2 weeks. I do understand the importance of good quality wiring, etc, so that's not a problem for me, it's just a matter of choosing the right amps.
And then, where is the best place to get amps from? There's a Jaycar near me, but they don't have much at all to choose from, there's also a couple of Dick Smiths, AutoPro, Autobarn, Supercheap and a couple of Repcos.
Last question - I want to semi-permanently secure my sub in it's enclosure (I have a friend who's going to make me an enclosure when I get dimensions) in the middle of the boot behind the centre seat with the speaker facing the front, ie. so if you open the middle seat, you can see the speaker there. Is the easiest way to do that with those good old bungee cords and a bit of foam or something to eliminate vibrations?
Thanks guys!
