Ok I've finally got some speakers - Focal components 6.5 inch for the front, MB Quart components 5.5 inch for the rear (overkill I know but I got then for free) and a MB Quart 10 inch sub for the boot.

Questions is, which amp/s would be the best to drive them all .

1. A four channel amp to drive the speakers and a sub amp for the sub .

2. A two channel amp for the fronts, headunit to drive the rears and a sub amp .

3. A four channel amp for the fronts and sub and the headunit to drive the rears .

Any help/advice would be excellent.

Cheers, Wolfie.

 

i would use a 2 chanels amp for the speakers and a mono block amp for the sub

 

I would not use the headunit at all, so you could either go for a 4 channel driving front and rear with a separate sub amp, or you could even get a 5 channel.

Either way, Genesis would be a good choice:

Car Audio Direct for car stereo, navigation and audiovisual electronics.

 

Thanks alot , four channel for the speakers and a Sub amp for the sub. Genesis were the amps I was looking at.

What front end (Focal) have you got mate. As if they are 6.5" polyglass or above you will struggle to get them in the doors. Plus if they are K2p or above you would be looking at Genesis series 3 or similar to get the best out of them..
