Alpine offer very small footprint amplifiers the are extreamly efficent (less heat). These come very usefull for mounting undernieth seats or in close proximity to other equipment, in my install there is probably enough space for these on either side of the enclosure. Pioneer make shallow subs (but the require big power to run them well, so I've been advised) Rockford fosgate also do a shallow one too.I would also add a 1 or 2 farad capacitor to your list to. While our cars have a 100+Amp alternator, you can still suffer from voltage drop at times of high current draw. A good battery also helps this problem. Our cars are very much based on electronics and these can be affected from voltage drop. I installed on in my system (it sits behind the amp) and I recomend it to anyone running a amplified system.

Ran a 12ich sub in a box behing passenger seat, 4 channel amp under passenger seat and replaced the factory 4 5x7 speakers with some new soundstream ones, ran the whole setup from my standard sound system.

Should get ya self a monoblock amp to run your sub and use the 4 ch to drive your new speakers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
