What type of amp?

[mykalhenry]

Hi everyone,

2001 Explorer Sport

Just wanted to know if I am putting two Pioneer 6 and 1/2 speakers in the passenger doors and two 6x8 Pioneer in the rear panels both rated 50 watts RMS and a 10 inch Pioneer 350 watt RMS sub in the enclosure in the back passenger side of the cargo area what kind of amp wattage and what channel type (2 or 4) would I be looking at to pump all speakers from one amp? Trying to keep it as simple as possible.

I was also wondering what I should look to pay to set all of the stuff up if I already have all the hardware? I would need the speaker enclosure to be customized for the back passenger cargo enclosure in the wall. So I would only need that and the installation of everthing including aftermarket Pioneer HU DEH7700 (Pioneer bang for buck fits my budget ok? LOL). I need some figures to go out and fight with.

Thanks

Mykal

keeping it as simple as possible would be getting a 5 channel amp to power all your speakers.

but getting a 4 channel for the speakers and a mono or two channel for the subs will leave room for improvement for only a couple dollars more.

as for prices im not sure about the cargo enclosure but around here the shops charge about $50 CDN for a deck and $80ish for an amp install. So $130 total is a ballpark figure. Id go around to a bunch of different shops and get quotes, just go with the cheapest one.

Or...have a friend do your amp/deck install with you watching him. Its fairly simple to do, the type of thing that if you see it done once you can do it. so that will help you out in the future. Then have a shop do the enclosures.

Yo man, I'm selling an Alpine MRV-F450 5-channel amp. On the birthsheet it pushed 73x4 RMS and 222x1 RMS. It is rated at 60x4 and 200x1. Let me know...

I'm asking $200 + shipping. Amp is 6 months old and has original packaging and the warranty.

Wagonized,

I can probably do it myself anyway. I did the head unit and speakers on my old Probe so I may be able to tackle this if I take a 3 day weekend or something like that and get all the wiring diagrams and such together and knock it out in one weekend. Its just so easy to have someone else do it but 200 bucks or so for an install leaves you thinking you could have sacrificed a weekend and spent the money on something else. After I did my Probe install I felt very proud and except for a short which I pinpointed at the HU I did a pretty respectable job IMO.

ATL,

Thanks but only new hardware going in the truck, besides what I pulled out of my Probe.

if you go to a local car audio shop and ask for a wiring harness for your particular vehicle it makes things 10X easier.

also when you join the wires try to either solder them or just the quick connectors.
