Which Amp?

[The Best Jack]

Hello,

I'm looking for an amp to power my front component speakers which are 2 JBL GTO 506ce 5-1/4".

And to also power a 1200w jbl sub.

What am I looking for to power these?

Any help appreciated.

Thanks,

Jack.

You'll either want a 2 channel amp to power the components, and a separate mono amp to power the sub.

Or a 4 channel amp, 2 channels for the components and the other two bridged to power the sub.

Look at the RMS values of your speakers/sub and try to match that with an amp/amps that output a similar amount on RMS power.

What brands should I be looking for?

And not looking to spend anymore than £200 to be honest. Something to get me started.

Thanks,

Jack.

Please understand that I'm new to all this;

Would installing two amps mean running two lots of cables, power and audio?

Thanks,

Jack.

Can someone also link me to a good wiring kit? I also need new wire to re-install and wire the component speakers.

Thanks,

Jack.

You'll need quite a thick power cable, if your only laying one and splitting it in the boot.

What sort of specs should I be looking for then?

And what makes should I be looking for on an average budget.
