Upgrade with the following, in order:

-Change to most expensive HU you can afford. Rear speakers will forever use HU amp output.
-Add 2 or 3 way front speakers (passive crossover), with quality cables
-Soundproof stage 1 for car (4 Doors, bonnet)
-Put in 2ch Amp for Front speakers, with quality RCA cables
-Soundproof stage 2 for car (front Floor Pan and front wheel fenders)
-add subwoofer and Class D amp at boot.
-Final soundproof for car (Boot, rear floor pan, n rear wheel fenders)
-enjoy life =D

Hi hope ya'll bear with my noob questions.



So in the interest of balancing cost savings and sound quality, which should i choose? Running 100w rms speakers front and back

Option 1:  Two (4x 60w@4ohm, AB class) amps total- one amp has 2x bridged channels to power the front components, and the other amp to run the rear speakers

OR

Option 2: Just save up and buy the more expensive and straightforward amp (4x 130w@4ohm, class d amp)
Also, is there any difference in sq between ab class and d class amps when hooked up to component speakers?
Thanks.

Take Option : none of the above.

See my upgrade path in post above, and you will find NO USE for 4ch amp.

Save up for a better 2ch amp.


And yes, there is a diff between class AB and D in terms of SQ, but your HU and speakers, along with the RCA cable and speaker cable need to be of considerable quality to hear the diff (^-^)
