I want to install an awesome stereo system in my car, which is a 1987 Nissan 200SX SE V6, but i really don't know what I need to get. I already have a pair of 12" subwoofers, a pair of 3-way speakers in the back (180w), and a pair of dome tweeters for the front. I am going to purchase a pair of speakers for the door panels and an amp. The thing is, I don't know what kind of amp to get, and I don't know how powerful it needs to be. Can someone please help me out!!???

wrong forum?

try the audio forum and you didnt give enogh info anyways about your speakers

What kind of subs, and interior speaker do you have, what kind of head unit, what is the watt's on the subs and int speakers

run the tweeds off the head unit
get 2 300-400 2chl amps one for f/r
and a mono amp for subs

remember in amps you dont allways get what you pay for top names arnt all ways the best chose

ive seen sony,mtx and what nots pop like pop corn

you can ck www.sounddomain.com for some prices but the dont carry mb qurts or orion but oh well

and how bout some more info

i used to have a audiobahn 200 watt amp and 2 audiobahn flame 12's those bitches would thump. but i just bought that shit cause i had money to waste and got them cheap now i cant stand systems they are useless in my opinion now

It's true not all name brand sound system will last, but mtx and rockford fos, are the shit. I used to have a rockford fos class D that pounded great. I now have 1 Solabaric L5 and a 421D mono, in my 240 and it's great. Let us know what kind of subs you give some imput on the type of amp

all i want is a jl 10w7 with a jl 500 mono amp. that sub would be the shit.

i like the sound of kicker and jl for subs mb qurts for mids and tweets and jbl's for 2 ways

IMO polk = high priced trash

IMO rockford fosgate = high price trash
id live and die with eclipse
i had an eclipse 10" on a sony 500w mono amp and it pounded harder than this one dude's two RF 12's and RF amps(not sure of wattage but they werent small)

sold that eclipse and bought two alpine type R 12s. they dont thump as hard really but i like the tight bass sound they make and you cant really hear them outside the car when im driving, which i like also
JL is also great but my personal preference is eclipse

I love the new Directed Audio SX line. They finally made a sub that looks as killer as it sounds. I'm trying to posts pics of them on here but I can't get my pics down to 80k!!!!

If going with subs in the rear especially if they are decent, I strongly suggest getting a great pair of componet 6.5" speakers for the front and run them off a good amp. If you get it right, it will make the music sound that much better. The subs and and mids/highs will complement themselves.
