because this is all together in one set for RM880, JBL amp for now too exp for me le..

thinking of using this amp first then save up to change for better amp lo.. is that ok?
why not skip the mariola amp, power using HU first. save up for a gud amp straight. no need to waste money on the cap ayam amp. if u buy it, most prolly after u get ur better amp, it will rust in the store room unless u selling it for rm50 or less, lol. no offense bro. just a piece of advice.

it's not OEM speakers. As it's a 2nd hand car, the previous owner had it set up. Is 5 inch speakers too small for any noticable difference?
I think the amp will still make a difference in terms of improving the signal.
For sub woofer size and selection, what is the usual do's and dont's?
Would keeping the rear speakers spoil the sound balance? Some opinion states the rear speakers do not play any good role once the component and sub is set up.
thanks bro.
imho, adding an amp will still make difference. for sub selection, in ur case is the power and ohm matching with the amp. if u plan to use the 4ch amp bridged for it, i would suggest a Single Voice Coil(SVC) 4 ohm sub dat rated almost the same as the output of ur amp. e.g. amp(4x50W rms @ 4ohm, 2x200W@ 4ohm bridged), i would suggest a 250W rms or less SVC sub. 10" or 12" depending on ur need and space available in ur boot la.
