hi fellow corsa owners
i am looking for some options on an amp speakers and the wiring up of it.
ok the system i want is front spekers wired to the amp and a sub box , then just the rear 6x9s wired to the head unit now can anyone share links to reasonably cheap amps that would do this job with no fuss ii am fairly new to the ice system as before i have just had the all in 1 subwoofer with amp inside,
another thing whats the difference between 2 channel and 4 channel amps
cheers

Re: amplifier and speakers
hey!
you are looking for something very similar to what i am doing at the moment
The 6x9s wired to the head unit will be fine, any 6x9s would be good as the HU can handle between 40W and 50W usually (check HU specs) from the wires in the back for front and rear speakers (obviusly use the rear!). i have some FLI ones which work really well for me straight into the HU
As far as front speakers and a sub to an amp...you have many choices. My Personal advise is to get a good 2 channel amp. 2 channel means 2 sets of speakers or subwoofers, and 4 channel means 4 sets of speakers and/or subwoofers can be connected at any one time. (lets not forget about bridging to increase power output if needed!)
your amp will needs enough power (WATTS and RMS) to power your speakers and sub of choice
My FLI comps need a min of 225WATTS/80RMS to power them fully and my sub (also FLI) needs a min of (300WATT/180RMS)
so....an amp with 2 channels preferably pulling 300W/180RMS min. thats power enough for the sub to work at full power and enough to power the speakers with WATTS left over spare. better to have too much than not enough
