#1 Next phase of Audio Upgrade

Post by kayfaz »

So next phase of my Audio upgrade is to amp door speakers.

Currently I have:
Head Unit - Dynavin N6, RCA outputs in the back http://www.e90post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1016187

Front Door Speakers - Rainbow IL C4.2 Speakers + Tweeters
Underseat Subwoofer: MB Quarts
Rear Speakers: BMW Individual
Boot: JL250/1 mono amp with JL250 Subwoofer

The existing amp only powers the Subwoofer in the boot. None of the other speakers are amp'd.

The following amps I have shortlisted so far:

5 Channel, so I could get rid of my existing JL250/1 mono amp
Rockford Fosgate Prime R600X5
Kenwood KAC 7005PS

4 Channel to run alongside my existing JL250/1 mono amp
JL JX400/4

I'm a right noob when it comes to car audio, however I do like challenges

Here are my questions:
1) Do you see any problems with the amps that I've shortlisted?
2) I'm falling towards the RF amp, but what do you guys think?
3) Plan is to run RCA cables from the back of the head unit to the amp and then from the amp to speakers, this is how it's done, right?
4) Anything else I should know?

Thanks

There's an awful lot I should know. Fer instance what time the ferry crosses the Dardenelles tomorrow a.m. but your first question, well Id say it looks like you are heading for severe hearing damage.
Maybe listen to more Radio 3
Surely you dont use rca plugged cables on the output of an amp. Get down to Maplins for advice.
Philosophers have only interpreted the world - the point, however, is to change it. No it isn't ... maybe we should leave it alone for a while.
