Have an 06 coupe.

Should the front and rear side panel speakers have the same wattage or should the fronts be more powerful than the rear.

I'm going to install DLS Ultimate UP6i 2 way in the front which have a power handling capacity of 150 w rms / 180 peak.

I'm trying to figure out how much power my rear sides should have. I'm going to be also installing a set of DLS coaxials in the rear side panels, just not sure how much power they should be compared to the fronts. I just don't want to get a 4 channel amp that has enough power for the front but to powerful the rear side panels. Don't know much about amps if they automaticly supply the right amount of power to the fronts and rears.

I'm editing this because if I understood correctly I just read that amps have controls on them for you to adjust how much power goes to front or rear channels.

I'm also looking at either a JLaudio XD400/4 or a HD600/4 to power both front and rears.

My sub is a JLw6v2 with a XD600/1 powering it.

Not sure if this is correct but I think I read that the amp you choose should be a little more powerful than what the speakers can handle. Is that true?

Thanks

 

With a coupe, don't put anything in the rear but a sub, you'll just muddy up your soundstage.

Yes, amp should have more power capacity than the sub it powers.

JL is definitely not the best bang-for-the-buck. Soundstream is a better option for sound quality and price, but the XD and HD series are both very small if that was your goal.

 

Ok thanks
