i have....

4 - 6 1/2" 3way 180w pioneer speakers
2 - 10" 700w pioneer subwoofers
1 - Pioneer CD/MP3 player output power 200w (code: deh-p8400mp)


what kind of amp would i need to power all of this???

And what type of box set up do you guys suggest for a eg hatch???

any help is very appreciated... thanx

for the amp i suggest: JBL GTO301.1 1-Channel Car Amplifier
its a great amp, great company, and its not oo over the top but will roduce decent bass, i have the model just avbove it...
i don beleive you needa 4 channel amp for your highs you should be good enough with your deck...
for the box you want to read the specs on what the subs require and reccomend. every manufacture will recommend what sub box to get, ie sealed, ported and so on... so read the manuel and go from there...

Disagree, adding a more powerful amp only helps, running them off the deck takes away any true authority the speakers may posess. When you amp them they will be running at close to full potential (depending on amp wattage) and the fidelity that is created is amazing compared to the crappy wattage from the HU

You will need to find out the RMS rating on the subs and speakers, not the peak. Find an amp with the same rating in RMS.

Most amps will be fine, all that you would have to is adjust the amp settings, and your deck settings to make it sound the way you like it.

I'd listen to the guy aptly named 'loudsubz'

Well one thing ill say is i think you will have a hard time installing the 6 1/2's in the front as the ones in my hatch dont fit properly. Maybe it was just me but part of the coen was covered by the door panel and was close enough that your speaker could potentially hit it.

As for the subs you will probably need an amp that will do 700wrms x 1 @ 2ohms but id need the actual product number to tell you that. For an amp i would check out selective sounds or lockdown and see what they can offer you. Also you will need to get a nice 4gauge amp kit to power the amplifier.

For box I would probably go sealed but it all depends what your looking for. If you want to have trunk space then build a sealed box to the specs given by pioneer, if you dont really care then go ported but make sure its built properly because its fairly easy to mess up a ported enclosure.

If you have the money i would get a small 4 x 50 @ 4ohm 4 channel amp to power your co-axials. They will do fine off of the deck to start with but i would for sure shop around for a 4 channel amp as it will bring new life to your system.

are the subs 700 watts rms or peak probably peak so I would go probably a 600 watt amp at 2 ohms mono and if you are running fronts then all you need is a 2 channel for the fronts something small if money is a subject Clarion has really good amps and are affordable.
