How many watt amp should i be looking for to run the four door speakers in my truck. They are aftermarket alpine 6x9's2 way in the front and pioneer 6"s 3 ways in the back. I know it needs to be a four channel amp, but how many watts should i be looking at to get the most bang for my buck? Thanks

 

You need to give model numbers on the door speakers or if you know, you need to provide watts (RMS and max) specs on your speakers. Also need to know ohm ratings.

 

Sorry all i thought i submitted this last night, guess I didn't hit post long day anway here ya go:
100 watt rms and 300 peak for the 6X9 by 4 ohms and the 6" being 35 watt rms EACH as well as 220 peak each at 4 ohms as well.

 

So unless you get two different amps for the doors. I dont see a way to get a 4ch to power everything without under powering the front doors or over powering the rears. Maybe sell or upgrade the rears to the same Kicker 6.5s I have in my front and rear doors as they are 100 rms and only were about $40 shipped new. Then they would match the front (power wise) and you could then do a 4ch or even a 2ch.

 

But what wattage on the amp do you think would be sufficent to run them?

 

I match my amps by the RMS of the speakers.

My door speakers are rated at 100 rms each. I have a 2 ch 400 watt @ 2ohm amp

So with all my speakers being 4 ohm, my left side and right side each are in parallel which gives a 2ohm load. So each of my speakers get the 100 rms each they can handle which is what my amp puts out at rms at 2ohm.

My subs are perfectly matched the same way.

Does that make sense and answer your Qs?

 

perfect weed thanks
