i hope threadstarter doesnt mind me hijacking his thread to ask amp related questions ....hehehe...

since we are talking about amps, i have been thinking off 2 scenarios of a 4 channel amp connection to a set of front component speakers....





my questions would be:
1. wat is difference would it make to the speakers performance between these 2 scenarios....
2. also how different is it if we connect a "1 channel left comp speaker and 1 channel right comp speaker (normal setup)" if compared to above scenarios...
3. is there an side effect that would spoilt the speaker, maybe over powered leadi...
4. any other notes/remarks?

the above setup/scenario is just a thought .....so for now, lets leave out the subwoofer connection...

thanks to whoever replies me....

thanks for ur reply.....

quite possibly since we are talking about component sets, they shud atleast come with some passive crossover rite ? so by referring to my questions again, let me rephrase that what is the most outstanding difference that i can feel in sound reproduction if lets say i choose either 1 of the 2 scenarios??

wat im trying to understand from here is that what is the huge difference the 2 scenarios would make in listening to music? is it just plain stupid to think of the 2 scenarios , or is it just waste of amps channels and extra wiring , or is it giving more power to component speakers where actually those comp speakers doesnt need the extra power (since we power speakers using amps) or will those comps and tweeters sound better if connected with extra 1 channels each [meaning scenario 1 and 2] (as supposed to normal setup which is one each) or is there an extra thing ?

well, this is just an idea or thought as i said earlier , im just thinking if lets say by some chance i got a 4 channel amp and decide to put 2 channels for front comps and dont decide to put up a subwoofer just yet, may be i can utilise the extra 2 unused channels for better purpose (like connecting to front comps) while waiting for subwoofer budget to come in hand since normally ppl would use 2 channels bridge to 1 for connection to subwoofer.....

sorry for my long explanation ...thanks driftmeister......

i did asked a fren of mine about this setups, just a simple explanation that he gave is that since we are giving extra power to the speakers (considering the fact that amps are used to power speakers), there is possibility that those comp speaker might get spoilt/damaged/koyak or have sound distortion over a prolong use...

according to him, it depends whether those comps speakers can support the extra power and if they do, then its a good news ....but thats not all also, tuning plays a important role too...

well, thanks for answering to my questions before ....all i just wanted to know if giving extra channels and power to comps speakers might give out extra performance in those speakers....

hehehehe....you have a point there too...thanks for the explanation and advice ....just asking OK, for RM1K wat is the good amp i can get within this price range ....preferably a 4 channel amp, 2 channel also can for listening to SQL direction...

i heard agako 2 and 4 channel amp in penang can get around the same price only.....which is about RM800 ....might as well go for 4 channel ones ....but im not sure it suits the kind of music i listen to as some ppl says that different amp supports certain type of music better....like example amp X supports music X or Y better but not music A or B.....

yeah, sort of waiting for him to reply ....but i dont mind listening to u (or reading ur posts) if u got recommendations on amps as well in that budget range ....thanks....

u have point there which i would agree...

better HUs which has better EQ and functions tends to produce higher quality sound as compared to lower level HUs, but money also spendly nice maa....hahahaha.....

heard like eclipse and alpine is quite good HUs.....

i penang lang but parents in ipoh...kekekeke...

agako amp with penang ICE ppl is particularly famous becos the shop Golden....hehehehe...

well thanks for ur infor loon , but I dont wish to join any ICE competition ....just want to enjoy the kind of music I listen to .....if agako is good enuff for intermediate or beginner ppl like me, perhaps will take it.....

as for money or budget, I got the moolah for a good amp, but I choose not to go so high end or spend so much on amp cos ICE is like nvr ending story ....put a great amp today and heard other ppls setup amp is better then change again, sure spend a lot money one .....hehehehe.....I prefer to be moderate level OK ler....set a budget limit for amp, comps set, sub and enclosure, probably HU and wiring with tuning and probably u can go wrong from here....

hehehe....i heard like so far Golden is good in tuning .....but dat does not come cheap also ler....

the question is if take alpine amp, is it in range of my budget RM1K 4 channels type ? if add RM100 or so, still acceptable but then how good or different is it if compared to agako ? if more than RM1K 4 channel amp then lari leadi la from my budget....

about the lanzar 15 band EQ for agako, even if u install agako without EQ, they can tune the ICE system for ur car to maximum level it can support, all depends on wiring, comps set and HU whether these 3 things can produce sound up to how good .....atleast this is wat I heard ler....

as for alpine amp, u mind giving me da amp details...thanks...

no I nvr use any amp before so my amp experience is none ....anyway, thanks for additional infor ....by the way, which alpine amp u talking about around RM1K ?

hey guys, wat is a good or reasonable budget for a 4 channel amplifier to complement or drive a component set worth about around RM1K .......u all know this wat, if u have a reasonably good comps set, no point if ur amp is chaplang or not good enuff to match the comps set performance, right? ....perhaps someone will agree with me.....

no subwoofer at the moment ....hehehehe...but planning to put one in future, so will use the 2 channels from this amp to power it up ....thanks for the replies...

bro loon and ahboy, thanks for the replies .....I think my question is pending till the component set is bought first....

hie all

I got a question on amplifier (since this is a amplifier thread )....

let say before u buy an amp, what are the things that u must consider or see before choosing and buying one ?

besides the channels supported, brand and budget, what else there is ??

looking to power up the front components (confirmed) and either a subwoofer or a pair of 6 inch 2 way coaxials (rear setup not confirmed yet)....

thanks.....

lets say no subwoofer for now ......but thinking of using one when budget is in hand, for now will use the amp to drive the front components, please advice....
