As above .. i just bought myself some kenwood kfc-1761s 3 way speakers for the front of my car to put in the doors and was wondering what amp to buy and a small sub for not much money so basically i need to know what power,wattage, etc, as you probs gathered i aint no ice expert cheers
i aint really worked that one out yet lol a stab in the dark at a guess ill say around 100-150 ish i cant really say as i dont know how much this kinda stuff costs lol
iv hered a fli 12 inch at halfords and i was impressed ,it was the passive one tho,was somethig like 49 quid and iv seen them on ebay cheaper im not sure what amp was driving it but it supprised me,get dow to halfords and have a look m8
nice one cheers im hearing alot about the fli subs so im gonna have a look in halfords this weekend and see what they say
just wired my front speakers in i got some bass now but it still sounds a bit crap i think i may have the polarity wrong does anyone know which is + and - on the mk3 golf the wires on both sides of the car are the same as each other so i just guessed i had a look at my haynes and the colours in the diagrams are different to whats in my car , any help would be great.. cheers
The polarity wont make any difference to the sound to be honest. It is more than likely that the front speakers aren't sounding too great as they are run off a headunit. Ideally the fronts should be run off a small amp. I can do you an Alpine V12 Mono Power Amplifier MRD-M300 for 50 delivered, that would be perfect to run a sub. You can then buy a sub and have money left over for an amp to power the fronts.

I believe so, I've had it for a while sat in the corner of my bedroom. new year - time for a spring clean lol
im afraid im low on funds this time of year or i would have bought it off ya, not that i would know what i was doing with it lol.. as i said im no ICE expert to say the least, im even confused at what im supposed to do with the speakers i just put in they sound crap, is it because they need to be amped ? im gonna do without a sub for now i just want some nice sounds for a change i thought by buying 200 watt triaxial speakers i would solve my problem i tried to disconnect the tweeters in the dash but the main speaker went off what im trying to do is get rid of all the speakers and just have 2 in the doors and then later on ill add a sub, but for now i just dont know what im doing i was hoping you guys might be able to advise me on what to do
EH??? i just went on the name being kenwood and 200watt lol like i keep saying i have no idea about this kinda stuff i only paid 15quid for em though i suppose ya get what ya pay for eh
They're 200W 'Peak' power, the RMS is 35W so would need an amp to run them ideally. Even then the sound wont be great as like you say you pay yer money etc.
see theres the thing i dont even know what RMS means lol if i was to put an amp to these 2 speakers what would i need,, any ideas ? i feel a bit fed up now i think i should have saved my money for a while and got something better i just thought i was buying quality with them being kenwood [:^(]
