I am looking at setting up a system in my lancer, and I want to run 2 pioneer 12" subs. Everything else is going to be pioneer so It would be nice if I could keep it all the same brand. Here are the parts that I will be getting tommorow.

Head Unit: DEH-P7500MP
Speakers: TS-A640P
Subs: TS-W34C

I am not sure if I should put an amp on the speakers because they have a nominal rating of 50 watts and that is what the deck puts out so I am not sure if I should put an amp on them, I just know I want the speakers to be able to bump on there own yet be nice and clean since they are 4-ways.

As for the subs, I am not sure what I can do about them. Would a Pioneer amp be able to power two of em? They are rate at 150 each so would any of the pioneer amps be able to power both? or even one amp per woofer? I know they say you should go 10-20% over the nominal rating for good sound, so 200 watts should be enough but I do not get the whole concept of bridging and crossover and what not to see if I can use any of the pioneer amps to power my gear. Any help would be grateful.

Thanks
Justin

 

IThe radio will put out a good clean 15watts rms. Granted that 15watts is still not comparable to a real amplifier. If you are going with aftermarket interior speakers, you should use an amplifier. Unless you are getting a killer deal from Pioneer, don't put all your eggs in one basket. Pioneer makes some fine products, but not all are superior. Its not about using the same brand anymore (Unless youre sposnored). For average subs a 30owatt 2 channel is fine. For average interior speakers, 50X4 is fine.

 

I work at Bestu Buy so I get everything at 5% over cost. I just like pioneed because I have never had a problem with there stuff. I want a setup that can be loud and clean and bump. Not bump in the sense of boucning stuff off my trunk or anything, but enough where I have something to show off and keep my hearing. I have also been looking at kenwood and rockford fosgate amps and woofers aswell. Hopefully I will find what I need/want. thanks for your help.
