Hey guys,
Sorry I am very new to the audio game and am in the process of my audio build. This is going into a G35 coupe. The setup goes like this, jbl ms-8 with stock head unit. Up front I have focal krx2s And for rear fill I wanted to do a set of 165cvx coaxials and 690cvx's. I will also have a front center channel but have not yet decided on which one. Might try to see if I can custom fit a 6.5 coax behind defrost. I want to utilize the full logic 7 processing. Not too worried about deep bass at the moment. Might throw some tiny 8in underseat woofers later.

But as of now I do not know how many amps I need. I actually want to keep everything completely tucked away and have nothing showing for a total stealth layout. I was looking into the xd600/6 and an additional xd400/4 for all of the speakers but do you guys think the 75 watts on 4 ohms will be enough to power the speakers? I was thinking of getting 2 600/6 and bridging 2 for the krx2 mid bass. But I don't know if the rear fills will have enough power to make em sound good. They are both rated at 80 watts rms nominal. Or another possibility is to go with the xd600/6 and a hd600/4 for the midbass and rear 6x9's. But would it be a bad idea to mix two types of amps?

Thoughts?
Thanks

Chris

 

stealth amps and lots of channels...

That will be tough..

I would have at least 300w on tap for your front stage only. Get a 4 channel to bridge for your front stage and a 4 channel for rears. You can use the internal amp on the ms8 for the center.

2 hd 600/4's would be nice.

 

If I bridge the front stage would I be two channels short? Don't I forego the crossovers and have the tweeters on a separate channel? I was a little confused in this regard when I was looking through the ms-8 wiring manual. It shows the tweeters plugged into the amp via a separate channel. Any insight?

 

If you were ditching the crossovers, why did you go with components?

Would've been better and tons cheaper to piece together some raw drivers.


whats your budget?

2 of these would be awesome

225 x 8 would be killer.

 

Would it still sound good if I kept the crossovers and I bridged the connection on the amp? Do you have any knowledge of the ms-8? I get the feeling it is supposed to handle the crossover internally. I just don't know. I am leaning towards the dual hd600/4s though. Also those focal krx2s are rated at 2ohm impedance. Would i still need to bridge the connection then? The zeds are a bit high. I'd say I have a 700-900$ range for the amps.
