car audio?

[EFD307]

so anyone on here know much about car audio? if not maybe you can help me with this question anyway. im looking into installing a sound system in my car, it would have 4 alpine SPR-68 and an alpine SWR-823D 8" woofer. the door speakers are rated at 4ohm impedance and 100 watt RMS im powering the system with the Alpine MRX-v70X series amp. the amp is rated for 60 watt RMS x 4 and  250W RMS to the sub,  is this sufficient to drive this system? I mean the system will run with this configuration im just wondering if im going to get the preformance from the door speakers if im onlly pumping 60W RMS when there rated for 100W. im not really into blowing the windows in around the neighborhood i just want my system to be crisp and punchy.

The motherboard in your profile pic, I know it's an M-power, but is that just a b/w photo, or did someone paint white over the yellow?  Sorry I don't know anything about car audio except for you shouldn't spend a lot of money on it unless you're driving 3+ hours a day.

what kind of enclosure do you have for the sub?

While 60Watts RMS is quite substantial and will drive those speakers O.K, the ideal scenario is to have your amp capable of driving a few watts higher than the speakers, This is to avoid clipping which is much less audible and does significantly more damage than over driving a speaker.

I just Photoshopped it, MSI didnt deliver on their 780 lightning so i gave up on my color scheme and went with the 780 classy. So while it looks awesome, it never got done. I posted a while back with the full picture, which was also before i had an IPS monitor because the shop looks much worse than it ever did on my TN lol

As someone who is almost always listening to music and is used to high end headphones and speakers it bothers me greatly to have poor sound quality in my car. just a one hour drive with the right playlist makes driving(or anything really) a whole new experience and in my opinion is well worth the money.

the thing thats impotent to think about is if you like the sound if you do then you dont need more power i cant see why you should have any problems if the speakers is in nice volum to your sub you should be god Only one who can juge this is your self how do you like your music? high with mutch bass? or kinda nice vocals and not that mutch bass

what kind of enclosure do you have for the sub?

i would buy it as a package deal sub and enclosure.

because of the cost of the system im most likley going to be building it in parts, sub and amp first then door speakers. im also using an Alpine CDE-W235BT i picked up off ebay open box for $90

im more into tight punchy bass that smacks you in the chest, not so much on the rattly shaky bass. I don't want to be that guy shaking the neighborhood but when the right song is on it can never get loud enough

trust me the JBL gt5 is doing just that im living in a tight neighborhood so when im going home i turn my volum down so no problem there but when the bass kicks in it vill give a nice push to the chest

The amp would be fine, its just that your amp will not allow for the speakers to play at the max volume they possible could.
