What amp(s) to use
Posted: Sat Mar 31, 2012 6:51 pm
I have been trying to make up my mind on what I should use for a amp or amps in my Camaro.
I have a roadster 66 that is still factory sealed in the box I did not even take it out to look at it yet.
It will be a easier setup 4 channels for front and 1 rear with 2 subs
the benefit to this amp is its all in 1 piece so 1 power and 1 ground 1 amp to bolt down
drawbacks its a nice amp but it still has that generic black finish to it and how much dose a black amp stand out surrounded with black carpet.
Or I have 2 M44s that need caps changed and rca plugs and I want to get some custom artwork done on them for subs I have a MS2250 but it also is in need of repairs
(not much chance on the 2250 going in) or I was thinking about 2 M50s for subs to go with the M44s cleaner install
Setup will be 2 M44s both bridged for 4 channels 2 front 2 rear with 1 M50 bridged for 1 sub X2
The benefits are multiple times more power custom paint will look better and a good chance it will sound better and multiple amps will allow for a symmetrical setup.
There are drawbacks to this setup the repairs and getting the artwork done and if I decide on M50s for subs I will need to find 2 them but it is not a big deal will not be
doing it this summer the wiring multiple amps not a big deal but more work more fuse and distribution blocks setup will take more space than the roadster.
I also need to figure out what I will be using for front and rear (no6X9s) speakers so if anybody has any suggestions on something they have or have heard in 300 to 500$ range a set pleas let me know
