I would like your guys''s inputs as to what amp i should get to replace the one i have, i would like to run all my speakers and sub off of this amp or maybe get two amps? im really new to this audio stuff so i dont know whats possible lol. also, i was wondering what you guys think of the speakers and head unit i want to go with. any feedback is grately appreciated. |
My rule of thumb with amps is that better is better - don't get too bogged down with high power numbers, but focus on how well-featured and clean the unit is. I also like simple vs complex, so I'd look around for one unit that could carry the entire load, rather than 2. With just the one sub, this should be no big deal. Whatever amp you pick, allow for some headroom - you want it to be able to carry your current load, and if I were you, I'd have enough left for it to handle a second sub in case one day you go that way.
Don't scrimp on the wiring, either. Cheap wires will just mean that your equipment works overtime just heating up wire.
I like the Polk products, and RFs are just fine too. Can't comment on the Pioneer, not familiar with it.
amp/speaker question 
, especially their amps. You have a good speaker selection, just don't forget to put down some dynomat first so that you will get good sound without the metal distortion. Also it all depends on how much space you have for the amp. If you have the room I have always run two with a electronic crossover to help seperate everything. I have always had great sound.
