Hook them up and let us know. I can't see anything wrong with it.

i think personally you could spend more on the speakers, and less on the amp. For $130 speakers, you'd be better off trying to find some ex-demo gear, or even something used if it's still in good nick. Same goes for the amp. When your on this tight of a budget, you want the most out of your dollar. I think if you were too hold off for a little while, and shop around, you will find a much better deal somewhere.

Well he already bought it, if he doesn't like it when its hooked up then we can advise him on an upgrade.

Well, i paid $99 for the speakers (NEW) and $25 for the amp which is second hand, but its pristine. I thought that was a bloody good deal.

Oh okay, i thought you were looking at new amps, makes a bit more sense now too, because i was wondering when you asked about the quality difference between 2 amps, an Alpine, and whatever the other one was..Otherwise, yeah that's a pretty good deal

Yeah sorry mate, its second hand. I bought it on ebay, and there are heaps of second hand quality amps for sale, thats why i was wondering the difference in quality between an alpine and an audioline, lol. Im glad i chose the alpine. :thumbsup:

Hey guys this will sound stupid,because i know nothing about audio, the fusion speakers i got say the RMS power is 70. Does that mean 70 all up or 70 for each speaker? Im just wondering because the RMS power of the amp i got is 50x2, so that equals 100 RMS right? So this amp should be good for these speakers?

 

[AutoSlick]

70 for each speaker. That amplifier is fine mate. You could obviously get an amplifier with more power but we will help you with that when you cross that bridge.
