Sub and amp fixing...

[Ben Lessani]

Wouldn't you be better off with something like this

Where it can run 3 channels, the Infiniti one just looks like it can run 4 channels, or 2x2 bridged - ie. 2 mono channels (subs only really). At least with the Alpine above (or any other than can support 3 channel), you can have stereo for the 2 front comps and bridge the remaining two channels for a mono sub.

Either way, with that price range, you're going to get about the same amount of power - 600W max, so you'll get away with 8awg cable. I guess your from the States - I don't really know any good places to get car audio gear....eBay? Its all much of a muchness, brand is 'technically' irrelevant.

Yeah. most RCA's have a single thin lead between them to run the Remote +ve from the HU (to turn the amp on and off with the HU), and if not, the kit usually comes supplied with a remote lead. The remote lead needs to be wired to the power aerial wire off the HU ISO connector, usually blue/white stripe.

Oh no, that Infinity one is fine, I've checked to make sure it can run 3 channels, it's on the Crutchfield review, the sub whichever I get will be run at 180Watts RMS using 2 channels, the other 2 channels I'll be running the front components.

I'm not from the States I'm afraid, I'm from sunny sh!tty Yeovil lol! Somerset. I'm only going on Crutchfield because they had an in depth review of the said amp.

My idea is to keep everything I buy Infiinty Reference, so the comps are get will be Reference, the amp is, and the sub will be too!

I'm a spesh, didn't even notice the English reg in your sig...I'm going to bed.

I wouldn't stick to the same brand for everything though - most companies aren't as good as manufacturing speakers as they are amps, or vice versa. Its best to mix and match to get the best for your price range. What's your total budget (and size of speaker holes), are you going to get door pods (HIGHLY recommended to make the most of out comps)...there's way more to ICE than meets the eye.

BTW, jump over to talkaudio.co.uk's forums - read through their posts, you'll learn a lot.

Not saying a word 

My budget is about £250 for the lot. I thought Infinity were good though? Damn SO MUCH CHOICE!!! help!

What are Focal like, looked on that forum and someone suggest this:

It has a built in amp for the sub and can also run 2 channels at 100watts RMS for front components which would be ideal...
