Installing AMP and speakers options

[Koon]

Hi everyone, my 1st post here. Need your kind advice on the following:

 

My present set-up in my 2003 Sonata brought over from my scrapped Civic as follows:

 

HU: Stock Pioneer KEH-P4025 50W x 4

Front speakers: Power Acoustik 653 XP2K (200W)

Rear speakers: Revac Car Stereo LX6.9 (100W)

Power AMP: Alphine DC-DC 4-channel Power AMP MRP-F256 powering front and rear

Woofer: Audio & Audio 8" (cant see the model number)

Power AMP: Audio & Audio Mosfet Power AMP 600W powering the above sub

PPI EQP

 

After reading so much in this ICE forum, I had bought the following from Charlie of Dai-ichi:

 

1 x Rockford Fosgate Punch 801x

1 pair of CDT HD-62 (latest model)

 

As you can see at my present set-up, I find the present AMP is not giving the much needed power for my present front speakers which I find it rather bright when playing JayLo, Destiny Child (me listen) and Celion Dion, West Life, KPop (my wife listen). Thus I had bought 801x as a future proof for upgrading possibility for rear speakers as well. At the same time, I dont find my present 1 x 8" box woofer able to give me the tightness I wanted (sort of 'stereo type' sound and I think its going to kaput soon). But woofer upgrading and HU process will be at a later stage for now.

 

Here is what I have in mind, any comments are very much appreciated.

 

Set-up 1:

Rockford 801x X 2 channels powering HD62

Rockford 801x X 1 channel bridged to power present sub? (Hope I used the correct word)

Old Alphine MRP-F256 X 2 channels powering rear speakers. (Revac Car Stereo LX6.9 or Power Acoustik 653 XP2K as rear?)

 

Set-up 2:

Rockford 801x for front (HD-62) and rear speakers (Revac Car Stereo LX6.9 or Power Acoustik 653 XP2K as rear?)

Keep present power amp for woofer - no change.

 

Any other options I left out?

Hi Koon,

 

Welcome to MCF.

 

Personally, i do not know much about ICE setup. But if you are interested, you can re-post your query to AutoS in the Singapore ICE Forum. He's an installer and he provides good advises. You may wanna seek his help.

 

You can look for him at

Cheers.
