So, the amp I bought to run my front stage is a dud, so it's gotta go back.
Looking for some advice on what I should get to replace it.
Here's what I'm running:
2013 F150 Supercrew
JBL MS-8 behind the factory amp
Front:Silver flute 6.5" woofers and Seas Prestige tweeters
Rear: Silver flute 6.5" woofers (not installed yet)
Sub: Alpine MRX-M110 (1100W @2ohm) and Sundown SD-2 10" in vented enclosure (tuned to ~33Hz)
My original plan was to run my amp at 50W x 4 to the fronts, then run the rears off the MS-8. Since that amp isn't going to work (Lots of hissing and noise), I'm looking at other options.
Right now I have a friend's Alpine MRP-F450 in there, and it sounds good, and the overall volume is fine.
So here are my options:
-P900.4, or another 4 channel for around the same price
or
-P900.5 + Earthquake SWS-6.5x to replace the Silverflutes. These would just go into the rear doors of my truck. The rear doors are covered in sound deadening with high density foam/vinyl decoupler between the door and the panel already.
Opinions are greatly appreciated. Alternative ideas are also greatly appeciated. I;m already overbudget on this project, so I'd like to keep costs down, but I'll spend a little more if it's worhwhile.
