Oh, you're talking about one amp to drive everything, and you didn't say subs, you said "to drive it". But nevertheless, any of those brands make amplifiers that will power whatever you have in store for them. It's a matter of using the right amp with the speaker in question.

Build the box so that it performs well in the worst case scenario and, in return, it will reward you at all times.

It was --- gosh I didn't even notice. I listed buy an amplifier twice. I'm the one who should be using the Need opinion for my set up - Page 2 -- posted image. icon. :-)

Yeah, I recommend one 4 channel amplifier to drive components with the front channels and bridge the rear channels to one 10" subwoofer.

I think you'd be pretty happy following kfr01's advice. A nice set of components in kicks up front running off the front channels and a nice 10" or 12" subwoofer running off the rear channels of a good 4 channel amp.

The problem with 04' BMW 5-series is the trunk is so well insulated. I tried to installed Infinity Basslink 250W and I could barely get any bass with door and trunk closed. If I have to put 10" in the trunk, I need to make an 8-10in hold on the rear deck to make passage for low freq wave passing thru from the trunk.

Are you really set on the one amp thing? You could get a really good sound from 2 amplifiers.(one 2-channel,one 4-channel) If you are set on the one amp (which is cool cuz it saves room) then I would go with the Infinity 6-channel 560watt amp with your original idea.(the 2 8inch Earthquakes) I bet that car is gonna sound sweeeeeet when you get done! Its too bad my vehicle didn't come sound proof from factory, but then again it ain't no beamer!

I see. Well, my advice stands for the fronts. Forget about using all the 4" locations in your car. Get some good 6.5" components in the kicks. Then use the 8" BMW driver locations.

Look to see if you have a sheet metal knockout behind the rear seat. Many bimmers have this behind the fold down arm rest, and it's just tack welded in place. A lot of times you can just punch it out using no tools.

My ex once told me I have a perfect face for radio.
