Simple question about running Amps in a VE

[Ace92]

Hey guys, im just wondering can the stock head deck (whatever you want to call it) run 2 Amps? at the moment im running a 900w Amp for my subs which is only a 2channel.

Im upgrading to some splits for the doors (so 4 speakers all up) and im going to need an amp for them, but the main question was, obviously, can i run 2 Amps from the stock?

because if i cant, im probably going to have to upgrade to a 1 big 4 channel amp to run everything smoothly, right? or if anyone else has some better suggestions?

cheers,
Ace.

I went 4 channel amp, makes it a whole lot easier.

2 amps can be done, but I would take it to someone who knoes what they are doing with VE's

I just bought a VE SS.

I have a twin amp setup. I run a 4x100w unit (very long amp) powering the door speakers and a class-d in a bridge bout 550w/rms running a dual sony explode 12" sub setup. No issues. I actually made some wooden mounts which I bolted to the back of the seat area to bolt the amps to so I can pull the sub box out easier if I need the space without having to upset the setup.

Piss easy, but a long job to do. I dynomatted the boot, the doors. I run 6.5" american sized Venom 3 ways which are more like 7" Australian, so I had to epically gut the holders and stuff. I run some cheapy LOC's from ebay which cost me about $20 each. You do get a bit of interference but it's the price you pay to keep the stock headunit. Just took a bit of work to get it pretty much right.

I electrical taped various wiring, dynomatted around the loc's etc. Trial and error but I only ever have run twin amps.... because otherwise you find the door speakers just arnt loud enough to match the subs travelling down the highway with the windows down.

As long as u get the earths right, cooling of the amps etc. You'll find no issues running twin amps. The vibration I found mostly comes up on the rear parcel shelf, rear number plate and front passengers A frame towards the front.

Cant get it perfect but u can get it close.

If you run the LOC make sure you connect it to the correct speaker cable for each channel so you can still fade/balance from the deck.

I'm guessing you should be able to run the 2 channel for the sub off the center speaker cable.

Also make sure your amps have LOC's.

Or you could just run a 5 channel amp.

ummm no you get what you pay for if you use the right stuff you dont get noise from the stock head unit

just for heads up ive done a few ve's and if ya grab kenwood amp (and some others) you WILL NOT get noise from stock headunits
