Questions Regarding Sound System I Have

[shaunvlc]

Hey guys, No longer have a skyline but know these boards are excellent for getting accurate non BS responses.

I currently own a 2005 Holden Rodeo LT, I have the following system in the car:

Pioneer DVD head unit - flip out

1 x 600W 4-channel pioneer amp - new type

1 x 1200W Pioneer monoblock amp for the sub - new type

1 x Pair of Pioneer Splits TS-D1720C's

1 x Kicker 12" Sub

I want to know if i can run another set of TS-D1720C's off of the Pioneer 600W four channel amp without affecting the sound quality, volume and clarity?

I love the setup I have but there is no point having spent all the money I have to be running distorted crappy stock speakers in the rear doors.

Any help/advice would be greatly appreciated.

And I also would like some advice on running a fold down screen for the rear seats as I have a daughter that gets very unhappy on long trips as she cant see the front screen.

How are these mounted to the roof?

do you need to explain something better or am i missing something ?

what concerns you about running 4 speakers off a 4 channel amp ?

have seen the screens that strap back to the head rest . think they pretty cheap

my concerns are will the 600W amp be enough to successfully power the 4 component speakers?

Powering the speakers is one thing making them sound good is another? Does the amp have enough power to power the 2 sets of splits well?

If thats 600w RMS (4 x 150w) then you won't have a problem. It's unlikely you will ever use it to it's fullest potential so you will have plenty of power on tap.

If it were me I'd disconnect the rears and bridge the amp to run the fronts. Alternatevely you could keep it 4Ch and run the front active (without crossovers) if the head unit has the capabilities

BWAHAHAAH! the day that pioneer made an amp that made anywhere near that power i'd be seriously surprised.

1. yes, you can run another set of those speakers in the rear

2. you wouldnt however, as it's a waste of money to put splits in the rear

3. go and buy a set of TSA1683S, perfect for your rear doors.

a roof mount screen is fits to the metal light bracket behind the roof lining. it goes in place of the light.

best roof mount on the market is the Alpine PKG-RSE2. $1399 RRP, comes with remote, 3x IR Headphones, 3 Year Warranty (when professionally fitted). Easily the best picture quality out there, and plays most pirate formats.

So its 300watt RMS then, bridged 2 x 150watt using the passive crossovers will be plenty of power. Forget the rears, your daughter would be better running headphones off a dedicated rear screen, then you can still listen to music in the front.

well said, its a good system for what i want. Does the job well. Have just noticed when sitting in the back all you can hear is bass. Not exactly comfortable for anyone but i suppose some cheaper speakers would do the job. Cheers guys.

more then enough power , you can run 8 splits or a few subs too, depends on your OHM Loads and freq it happens at.

but thats more then you asked

in case you didnt know most amps are true ratings these days if there any good

http://www.ce.org/Standards/3108.asp

The amplifier power for mobile electronics logo indicates that a car amplifier has been tested to CEA-2006-A, Testing & Measurement Methods for Mobile Audio Amplifiers. The standard requires that the manufacturers report at least three ratings: primary power output in watts, total harmonic distortion plus noise and signal to noise ratio.
