repowering my rearfill

Post by ShockTherapy »

This is the deal... After installing the CDT ES 3-way setup I needed more power so I bridged my 4-channel Arc Audio 4150 CXLR to run 2 channel at 320x2. this leaves my rear fill with nothing to power them. Space is a huge issue so I was considering using an old school Soundstream D60 to run the rear CDT ES-4 and DRT-26 tweeter. What do you all think? the amp measures 7.5"x4"x2" so it wouldn't tie up too much space. The amp is rated at 30x2 at 12v so I'm figuring 40-45 watts per channel real world. these old SS amps are supposed to sound very clean so I'm hoping for good results. Does anyone have any experience with this particular amp? I keep my rear fill low as more of an ambient effect.

30 rms on the rears? Why not just use the deck power?
what else can I say I am a grumpy asshole most of the time.
