Hi all,

guys please help me to decide what to do.

My situation:
I have a Alpine CDA-7977 head unit in hand right now and want to install it asap in my car.

due to it's a pre-amp unit and my budget constraint, should I:

1. buy a cheap amp and a cheap sub and install it in a cheap store that normally does an half-ass job.

2. buy a decent amp ( the one I have in mind is alpine mrv-f450 (5 channel- i have rear speakers but they are disconnected now coz the sound stage was off), or the f340) no sub yet and installed it in a nice shop.

3. sell the head unit and buy one that has a buit in amplifier

what do you guys think?

 

Buy a used 4 channel amp from another member. I just picked up a Rockford Fosgate 400a4 amp (668 watts) in great condition for $50. I could not be happier. I've never had a better sounding system than the one in my S.

 

Why not buy a really nice amp (Like a Nakamichi PA-1002 which bridges to 300 w @ 4 ohms) and use it on a really nice sub?

Ok, so did you have a great bass improvement after you install the fosgate amp?
