Best 4 ch. amp to replace ba system.

[vandervortadam]

Looking for a good 4 ch. Amp to replace the factory ba amp. Any good suggestions?

[camarostar2010]

this question is too vague...but a good start is any mtx or fosgate amp. Trusted names...and with true rms power ratings. Don't cheap out.

I want to do the same thing but will the factory speakers handle the extra power

first get the ******** Fark kit, then chose a name brand amp, I have the Alpine PDR f50

I already ordered the fark harnesses. I used to have xtant old school amps and I loved them. Wish I could find some of them again.

Do you have subs or just replaced the amp

Just the amp for now. This winter I am doing a fiberglass box and amp rack.

Did it stop the distortion

noob question.. when you replace the factory amp with an aftermarket can you attach subs to it? or do you still need a second amp for the subs. This is using the fark kit for the ba system.

That depends on the amp you get. If it's a 4 channel then it'll be for the speakers. If u get a 5 channel, you can add a sub to it

You'd need to get an amp that has the additional channels for a subwoofer output.

There are a few out there.

I ran a second amplifier for the subwoofer (mono amp).

I used the FARK kit and replaced the factory amp with the JL XD 400 amplifier and I have a single 12" woofer running on a Kicker 400 watt mono amp. So I am running 100x4 and a 400 x 1

I used the pass through RCA jacks on the JL amplifier for the signal to the subwoofer amplifier and ran two sets of power and ground wires.

There are options for amps with 5 channels (4 for main speakers and one subwoofer channel) if you only wish to run one amplifier.

Certainly this can be done.
