I have just purchased some 100 w alpine coaxials http://www.caraudiodirect.co.uk/alpine-sxe1325s-p-2985.html?cadid=2542d9012afb26e04d5f46db50187e48 for the front, a 300 W kicker sub and a vibe blackbox 1 amp. Would it be possible to run both the sub and the speakers off only a 2 channel amp or is that jus foolish? Thinking I might jus run coaxials off HU as its 4 x 52 W anyway. What do you guys think? Thanks

Those coaxils are 100w PEAK power
No you can't run the speakers & sub off a 2 channel :nono:
Since you asked what we think
If it was me I would have sold the amp, bought a set of components for the front.
Then when I had cash to spare I would add to it with a 4 channel amp and a sub. 2 channels to run the components and give your front end even-more dynamic. Use the remaining 2 channels (bridged) to run your sub. Maybe even upgrade the sub at this point too if you wanted
Get it all in with a nice wee install
Bing bang boom - job done :approve:

cheers for the advice, much appreciated. Jus bought the 2 channel amp and sub from my mate cos they were dirt cheap. the amp is brand new, the sub only been used in a house lol as he lost his license before connecting them up. went for coaxials in front runnin from HU basically cos its easier and cheaper til ive got time/money for a decent set up. Really jus wanted to upgrade the clarity a bit and get some bass fill in the rear. Am losin ma ICE install virginity (wanted to keep it simple) so hopefully theres more to come with a little help from those in the know jus waitin for my wiring kit to get crackin on it now!

All fun & games then
you still got the std speakers in the rear?
am embarrassed to say yeah i have
Don't be
I know of people who have replaced them with Halfrauds contagiousness :dead:
The rear is fine as all it does is provide "rear fill"
Concentrate on your front end & upgrade to comps & better sub/amp when you save up a bit if thats what your plan is
