ok well I have bought my headunit, I got the Alpine iDA-X200 (direct ipod control unit)
Now I am ready to start installing some stuff
What i have to work with now is the headunit and these speakers:
Now my mate has a MTX RoadThunder RT404 amp
and a MTX 12" sub 200 Watts RMS and 400 max (no box) brand new that he never got around to putting in his accord and offered both of them to me for $150, i could get a box for like $30 or make one myself
Now, I don't know anything about amps or subs, so apparently the speakers in the car (6"JL Audio and Rockford Fosgate's) are like really good, and the guy who had the car before me had a Audio Mobile Acoustic 150WX4 amplifier which runs the six speakers in the car as well as a Rockford Fosgate bd1500.1 amplifier which ran the two 15" subwoofers.
I only want a single 12" sub, though I don't know which one I'm going to get yet, unless the MTX sub so I want to know these things.
Will one amp be enough? Can I run the 2 front 6" splits and the two tweeters off the headunit? and can I run the single 12" MTX sub (200 watts RMS 400 Max) and the rear 2 splits off the MTX 404?
or..
is the MTX gear not enough?
suggestions on amps? how many amps? and different 12" subs
I don't want to rush into this, I want to get some good gear that I don't have to replace, and I want to get a nice good sounding system, that works for all types of music from Metal to Electro/Trance aka doof doof
