I have finally decided that my Denon amp doesn't have the oomph to un a single 10" sub and kappa components in the front doors.
Having done a search people seem to recommend phoenix gold vs rf vs soundstream vs genesis although I know that Adam M doesn't rate the latter.
With a budget of say £400-500 I need 3 channels to run the present set up.
What i need from you guys is what make I should go for and is it worth looking at a 5 channel amp to run the fronts actively or would I be better going for a 4 channel amp and add a separate amp for the sub later on if I wish to go active.
Thoughts and opinions please. It's almost Christmas
Cheers

Also how much power do you need for a sub - not wishing to win the next SPL contest but bearing in mind the sub is sometimes difficult to hear in the boot - 100W RMS minimum?
Hi Scooby Doc,
Personally, I wouldn't go for a 5ch amp - get a 4ch for the car and a 2ch for the Sub.
Can't recommend any yet, as mine is wrapped up for Chrimbo!! However, I've gone for a JBL LCA752, but I got it very very cheap, and it's not that expensive to start off with.......
Sorry to cross post, but Chiark, did you see my idea for +ve/-ve speaker wire identification? Using the diagram from the ISO connector? I've got a piccy sorted out with the ID if it's required......
I am coming rond to that conclusion. Maybe I could keep my Denon to run the fronts and give it a break with some ooomph from behind.
You can't be serious that you've got yours wrapped for Chrimbo. Just think - what happens if it is faulty? Surely you must be permitted a test on perhaps...humanitarian grounds - what about the Human rights issue?
