have got a rockford 4.6x amp and i was wondering weather it would run a pair of fronts and a sub in the wifes legacy est or should i sell it for something with more poke
does anyone know how much real power it makes and how much i should ask if i have to sell it for a bigger one.(i can get a blaupunkt mpa5 amp for about £150 would this be better at 3x110 rms)
cheers richie

Richie, take quoted amp power with a large pinch of salt, especially in the entry end of the market. It's akin to bhp... Good for the pub...

The Rockford 4.6x would definitely run your fronts and a sub - 2x30w and 1x120w would be fine to start you off as that's the amp's specs. My Rockford amp makes considerably more than its rated power, but that's in a different series so this may not be true of that particular model. Still, I'd say it'll be fine to start you off.

Wouldn't bother with the Blau personally...

cheers mate can you make a recomendation for a set of bugetish front speakers that wont involve cutting metal to fit in.
ive got an rel acoustics sub to put in the back supposed to be a home cinema jobbie but they rock a car like nobodys business normally cost about £500 a go with an amp and box for the living room but i can get the subs on their own at a nice price.
try one if you ever get the chance.

Well, Infinitys are well liked. And as has just been pointed out, Caliber do a set that should drop in. Infinity is a bright, pleasant sound and caliber is generally less bright. Depends on your preference, really.
