need some advice from you audiophiles out there:
here's what i have:
4 pioneer 6X8 TS6865
1 jl audio stealthbox with 10W1-4 sub (125W)
1 4x25 precision power apa-425 sedona series amp
here's what i'm planning to get:
head unit:
1) alpine cda-7878 (45x4 peak / 21 x 4 rms) mosfet
or
2) cda-7876 (60x4 peak / 27x4 rms)
changer: alpine cha-s624
predicament: how should i power everything?
i'm leaning towards running the pioneers off the head unit, since either unit will basically put out the same amt as the ppi will. the ppi i bought way back in 92 for my very first system, and it definitely has sentimental value to me. if i bridge it, i think it'll put out 2x50, which i'm not sure is enough for the jl 10W1 (125W).
should i buy a new amp for the sub? someone i know is offering an old alpine ts-300, i think 2x30, bridgeable to 1x100. also, an option is the alpine mrv-100m, (150x1 rms). 150w isn't too much for a 125w sub, is it?
if i get a new amp for the sub, should i use the ppi for the pioneers or just put it back in the box for another 4 years and run the speakers off the head unit?
as you can see, i'm pretty much an alpine guy, always have been. thanks in advance for your help.
