I am thinking of buying an amp; Suggestions?
 
Hello Guys,
Sorry to bother you guys once again with my newbie questions.

As you all know by know I am going to upgrade my car audio system. I already bought the speakers and head unit, but I think an amp would be a great addition if I am going to do a full audio install.

Here are my specs:
Pioneer FH-X830BHS
RMS Power Output 14 watts
Peak Output 50 watts
RMS Power Bandwidth 20-20kHz
Preamp Outputs 6-channel
Sub Preamp Outputs Yes

Alpine SPR-50C
Sensitivity 87 dB
Frequency Response 70 - 29k Hz
RMS Power Range (Watts) 8-100
Peak Power Handling (Watts) 300
Impedance (Ohms) 4

What do you guys think would a be a great amp to power this speakers?
Also if would be great if you could suggest something that could fit under the seat, or somewhere where it does not take too much space and has no risk of heating up.

Thank you guys, and sorry for all the trouble.

Tons of great amps out there.... I would suggest a nice 4 channel, and you can use the head units crossover feature to split the tweeters and woofers between front and rear channels. Budget would be the next question.

Thank you for the reply and advice Ron. As for my budget, around 200 hundrish would be ideal. I could probably push it a bit more for something a whole lot better.

Not trying to hijack the thread but how about an amp for two front component speakers and one single sub in the rear not so much the exact amp but how many channels? I was looking at a 3 channel any thoughts?

So, I was looking at some amps and I was thinking of getting the Rockford Fosgate Punch P300X2.

I think I was able to match the amp to my speakers based on what I read online. Could anybody confirm if this amp is good enough for my speakers? I do not want to overpower them.

Amp specs:
RMS Power Output (Watts x Channels) 100 x 2
Peak Power Output (Watts x Channels) N/A
Power at 2 Ohms (Watts x Channels) 150 x 2
Bridged Power (Watts x Channels) 300 x 1
Minimum Impedance Bridged 4
Minimum Impedance Unbridged 2
Best Frequency Response 20-20k Hz
THD at Rated RMS Power 1%
Signal to Noise Ratio 85 dB
Input Voltage

That amp will do just fine

or you could do a 4 channel, and bridge the 2 rear channels to your sub, or run a dual voice coil sub.

You could also just get a mono amp for a sub

There are also three channel amps... I have one (JBL GTO3EZ) I bought for my 2011.... though I am considering not installing it in the 2013. Not sure I wan't to add the big amp/sub weight (the RE SCX 10" I got is hefty). Might get one of those small amped sub combos or something instead.

Thanks all, waiting for my new deck to come in and once I get it installed depending on how the stock speakers sound will be the deciding factor. If speakers are good enough for my taste prob will go will mono app and single sub in magic box. I am trying to not have to install two amps if I end up going with component speakers up front and a single sub in the rear.

Alpine PDX-V9 is a nice 5 ch. amp.

100 watts RMS x 4 + 500 watts RMS x 1 at 2 or 4 ohms
or
200 watts x 2 bridged at 4 ohms + 500 watts x 1 (for sub)

I'm happy with it:tup:

That sounds impressive, so you could take a 5 channel and bridge the 4 channels into 2 and run the last one for sub? That don't sound like a bad option ether.

This is the set up I'm going with I'm happy with the front speakers just want to add back speakers and the mono amp and shallow mount sub

Update:
I have not bought the amp just yet.
Does anybody know if the Alpine KTP-445U power pack is any good?
I saw multiple good reviews online, but I have not come across anyone that has a 370z.
If any of you have it, is it any good, and if so, where did you put it?

They are ok, you have to give them air circulation behind the head unit. I have done a few in the z's with no issue.
