ok...... well i got my system installed, its nice , i love it...... but it was having issues
my new components, Total 5.25's, the tweeters were playing bass..... aka the cross overs were not doing their job.....
so i get this horrible rattling paper crumpling type sound
i took it back, they put brand new tweets in.... does same thing
they finally install some type of cap(10$) that blocks bass, no more crumpling sound, but b4 i get my car back guy says its distorting because there isint enough power to it and says i have to have a 4-channel amp to power just the fronts....
so i was like, why do i need a 4 channel, why not just a 2 channel.... and he said, well 2 channels are made more to drive subs..... they arent a/b/c class........
well i go out back to my car after getting the price for a 4 channel amp with install and wiring and dis block, 365$, and turn the bass gain on my Headunit back up... No more rattling/paper cracking noise..... i turn the bass gain to +4, the Treble gain to +3, turn off the sub amp, and turn the volume all the way up to 30 out of 33(Clarion DXZ655MP) and what does it sound like..... clean, a little distortion, but nothing where to what the guy made it sound like.....
so yea, opinnions on this... i was going to take the 2 channel clarion amp i have pushing my sub (Clarion APA2160) and amp the fronts and get a new sub+amp down the road...... but is it ok if i just get a 2 chnl amp for the fronts? or do i need a 4 chnl
thanks in advance
