Hi guys, im planning on buying 2 x Alpine speakers 6.5" and buying a sony DAB 52w RMS head unit.
Now I have heard that Type R speakers may require an amp to get the maximum quality sound and loudness. Is this true? What about type S speakers? Is it not required to use an amp as its less power? Type R http://www.caraudiocentre.co.uk/product_m-...17s_p-22579.htm Power Specification Peak Power: 330W RMS Power: 110W Frequency Response: 65Hz - 27kHz Sensitivity: 87dB, 1W/1m Installation Diameter: 136mm Depth: 59mm Type S http://www.caraudiocentre.co.uk/product_m-...71a_p-20255.htm 6-1/2"(16.5cm DIN) Component 2-Way Speaker Peak Power 250W RMS Power 50W Frequency Response: 35Hz - 30kHz Spoke Design Grill System Multi Layered Cone Wave Guide Linear Drive Magnet 1" soft Dome Tweeter With Installation Kit External Crossover With Tweeter Protection Lightweight Air-Injected Rubber Edge Neodymium Tweeter Magnet Custom Fit Spacer Nomex Spider |

****, this sucks. It looks like I'm gonna have to get an amp, as my deck only pushes out 4x50. My fronts are fine, the rears just sound distorted. If I use each independently, they're fine, but as soon as I fade the rears in with the fronts, it's fuller but more distorted.
So audiophiles, what do I need to power these babies? |
