^ WOW..that amp is tinier than i thought it would be!
i guess i could always use two of them, 1 of the 4 channels to drive all the components, and then a second one to drive the two doors and still have room for an 8" subwooferr.

how much does that PDX weight? its got to be sub 20 lbs.

what is that tube thing in front btw?

 

The weight is closer to 10 LBS I guess and the plastic cover is for the hydraulic lines which leaves no room for 2 amps and the crossovers. It really depends what you want out of your system and you also have door speakers which I do not. With one amp I powered the 2 fronts w/crossovers using 2 channels and the third I used for 1 Sub which left and extra channel which is unused, the back fill I used stock Hi Fi porsche speakers which come with tweeters and there own frequency blockers in them using the HD unit to drive them. The rest is just balancing the system through the HD unit. One thing I like is it does not bust the bank account.

 

Or use one Audison to drive it all....My amp can run 3 way components up front, 2 ways in the rear and a sub.....

 

^ "One Audison To Drive them all"....sounds like a lord of the rings parody

Newport, can you recommend an audison dealer or a place to buy the 6.9 for...well.....cheap?

 

Call Rod at Car Audio Innovations.....He gives great customer service on installs as well if you buy from him and at the time I bought mine, he had the best price.

He is a master at Porsche installs and can talk you through things if you run into problems....

 

i would just get all focal with that budgetm, focal amps, speakers and sub. Should be right in your ballpark and would sound fantastic

 

I have a 2 chan and a 1 ch audison on my sound board i will sell you at cost if you want. they are lrx series

 

thanks denis, but how am i going to drive 6 speakers with a 2 channel?
can you get me a price on the 6.9?

 

Technically, you will have only 4 speakers, you will be using a 2-3 ways setup for the front and to put on your dash that use the same crossover network, so it will only take up 2 ch on the amp for left and right channels. Alot of people dont like rear fill, some people run the rear speakers off the deck power and fade to the front, some people dont use rear fill at all, some people like it. When you go to a rock concert, recording studio, opera, symphony, they dont play behind you This is the mentality many audiophiles have. I will check my pricing for you

 

go for a 3 way setup on the component speakers and 10" sub or better yet, dual 10" sub ^^

 

I work in a recording studio everyday, and you need rear fill...it just fills out the space....you know the studio if designed well has NATURAL reflections, so you are always hearing rear fill...its part of how we hear things....We hear in 3 dimensions...dont think so...go into a dead sound room...then play something from one direction and have material absorbing sond on the opposite wall so there is NO reflection...it sounds horrible. This is why recording studios are "live" rooms. They wan natural reflections...so they spend TONS of money designing a natural sounding live room. I ran my rears off the deck and it was not near enough power to keep up with the fronts...There is a huge difference between no rears and rears...I blew my factory rears and drove for a week with no rears...it drove me crazy...rear fill done right is wonderful.

 

LOL. this is true kinda.I used to have my own radio show, so i worked in a studio every day for yrs as well. One thing you have to understand ALSO is that the car is also "live" and you have Many reflective surfaces in a car. If your sound is done properly in a 2.1 setup, it will sound fantastic. Im not going to start a huge "rear fill" debate. This is the MOST argued point in car audio by audio files. I learned to build SQ systems from Gary Biggs and mark eldridge, both 2 ch fans, both multi-multi world iasca sq champions. Personally i like both, but preffer 2.1 systems unless in an suv or 4 door car that will house more than 2 passengers

 

What Size Does The Bose Sub Come With?
