well done that man.

yeah my speakers are unefficient ,independants is fine 8-4ohms

power is da problem :(

i could make the mid range and tweater on rear chanels and the 2 subs separete on a amp pluged in to the amp conection on the back of hu

front 2x normal speakers
rear mids + tweats
amp slot : the subs with the amp ofcouse

now that could work it would make the tweaters and mid range have more power while the subs would be getting just what they need.

pff ok how much will a 250watt amp cost me? roughly? 2x 250 rms would be perfect iam thinking what do you guys think?

You don't really even need that much power. An honest 4x50w is perfect for normal use - use two of the channels on the fronts, then bridge the remaining two channels for the sub (1x 150-200w). If you have rear speakers, run those off the HU. The people in the back deserve crappier sound for not calling shotgun quickly enough ;)

cheers

Agreed with Foggy, I'm funning a 2x50 that offers tri mode in Fake, and a 4x50 in Kar, neither can you run at full volume (well, I can't anymore, but I'm getting old). If it helps, you can't hear wind noise with both front windows down at a ton with about 3/4 volume.
