How many channels??
What type of amp do I need to push 2 6x9's and 2 6.5's? Not necessarily a brand, just how many channels?

Mono = 1 Stereo = 2 Left + Right = Stereo So Front/Right is 1 Audio Channel and Front/Left is 1 Audio Channel Rear/Right is 1 Audio Channel and Rear/Left is 1 Audio Channel. 2 Channel Amps just cover Left and Right (Stereo) 4 Channel Amps handle Left and Right as well as Front and Rear You would need a 4 Channel Amp for (I assume) your 2 6.5's in the front and 6x9's in the rear. That's all for today's lesson. Be prepared for a quiz on Friday.  Mal |

Re: How many channels??
You can do a 2 or 4 channel, depending on the amp and how you want it staged. Like Mal said, you want left/right, or do you want front/rear as well. Also, if your speakers have different power ratings, a 4 channel amp will give you a gain control to increase/decrease output front/rear so you can put proper power to each set.

Re: How many channels??
alright sweet, 4 channel it is. Mal, thanks for the breakdown. I'm still new to audio, and that helped me understand a little better.

Re: How many channels??
That would work great for the subs. Unless you have your heart set on 8" subs, go with a pair of 10s. There are shallow subs out there that will fit in a small box if you are limited on space.

Re: How many channels??
I was gonna get ten's, but i'm not looking for a crap load of bass. I listen to alot of rock. I just wanna hear the double bass drum.
