Justthejedi Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 Should I get a 4 channel amp or 5 channel amp and do away with the OEM amp which I assume is powering the Sub? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
un1eash Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 Sub has its own amp about the size of a cigarette pack, the speaker one isn't much bigger either. If your planning on a straight amp swap it would require a full rewire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A9H-RX Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 My personal opinion if you like your music, do away with the bose system, get decent double din head unit, get 4 channel amp for 4 speakers with decent speakers and separate amp for the sub. Can get hold of some nice sub enclosures that can be built under the strut brace Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justthejedi Posted April 17, 2014 Author Share Posted April 17, 2014 I love my tech-House music so to appreciate the bass, I replaced the Bose sub, replaced with a Tremor sub and also replaced the HU with a double din Pioneer. Today, I have ordered some Hertz components for the doors and Alpine Coaxials for the rear but not sure what to do about an Amp replacement?? If I order a 5 channel amp then that can power everything in one go rather than buying 2 amps? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm running 4 channel audison lrx4, through audison front components and rear coaxials @ 250w rms per channel. And separate amp for sub which is alpine type r @ 800w rms.

Justthejedi Posted April 17, 2014 Author Share Posted April 17, 2014 My hertz are 160w and the Alpines are 220w, tremor sub is 1000w. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
un1eash Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 Something like a JBL GTO-5EZ would do that trick. All depends on budget and brands you prefer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A9H-RX Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 My hertz are 160w and the Alpines are 220w, tremor sub is 1000w. Peak or RMS? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That looks a cracking amp but A little more than I wanted to spend, I had budgeted £100-£125 for an amp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
