Hello, This is my first time posting on this forum so i thought it would be a great idea to get the answers from the masters. Well here goes. I have bought RE AUDIO - XXX 6X5 components /with tweeter for the front - 300 WATTS RMS TOTAL or 150 RMS per Piece - (2OHM) I have bought RE AUDIO - 5X7 2WAY FR for the back - 250 RMS TOTAL or 125 RMS per piece - (4OHM) I have bought RE AUDIO - SE 10" DVC - 1200 WATTS RMS or 600 WATTS RMS per piece - (2OHM) I would like to get one amp to power everything to as close to the maximum RMS speakers/subs as i can get. Please help. I would like to get this professionaly installed. Any help would be greatly appreciated. THANK YOU

the closest you are going to get assuming your subwoofers are dual 2 ohm coils are this amplifier Zapco DC650.6

Your looking at a 2 amp system to even get close to full power. BTW are the subs dual 2ohm or 4ohm you just simple put 2 ohm so is that per coil or did you figure wiring them paralel? -------------

thats too expensive. unless someone is selling at a great price. how about another make and model of amp just below that. less expensive.

If the subs were dual 4's the memphis belle would be a good candidate...............but I would go with two amps maybe look int the xt series from RE the 1600.4 and the 4000d I think the model numbers are correct

With the component you picked out there is no way you are going to be able to run 1 amp, and expect any reasonable price range. You have picked out components that require a large amount of wattage. The best and most economical way would be to run a dual amp setup. One amp for the subwoofers and one for the mids and highs. What is your price range?

i forgot to mention in also purhcased a KVT819 Excelon head unit, but with all the speakers, subs and head unit. combined total 1250 give or take a few dollars. but what if i just used one sub instead of 2. can it be done then. but for sake of argument ill say another 750 i can spend. but lets stick with one sub then.

i know you are hell bent on using one amplifier, but have you noticed the size of a 5 or 6 channel amplifier? With that being said The Alpine PDX series are very small and compact. They will take up less space than a Multi-channel amplifier. You will get much better sound quiality, and you will be over all more pleased with your system if you go the 2 amplifier route. Check out the Alpine Pdx 1.1000 and the alpine pdx 4.100. If you really want to go with 1 amplifier the Arc Audio KS 900.6 Will work well with one subwoofer. You can pick it up for around $670

just wanted to give you all guys an update on my situation. I finally caved in and installed everything professionaly. Im running now 2 RE Audio SE 10" in a sealed enclosure with a Memphis 16-PR4.50 for the interiors which are the XXX RE AUDIO components 6x5's, and 16-PR2.150 for the subs. Both are class a/b amps. I never wanted to a system where everything was distorted and rattling because i believe that if a car passes by and some ghetto fool is in there thinking he has some great sound but all you hear is the damn rattling and can barely hear the words because everthing is so crappy then i think he is a fool, because mine is stricly for sound quality and my head unit goes all the way up whithout any distortion and hits hard as hell. Im pleased. Should i make a video of the setup in my car, which by the way looks really clean.
