Posted January 21, 201213 yr i was seeing what you guys recommend for a small amp (small size) i was looking at an amp maybe under the dash something that doesnt take alot current draw...i was looking for 100 watts rms and a price limit of about 300 dollars...i have 4-6 1/2 alpine type s 4 ohm speakers....im not looking to win a award with them just something to get a little more output out of them
January 21, 201213 yr the new audiopipe nano 4 channel is small and not bad on pricing and decent power for a four channel
January 21, 201213 yr 100wrms per channel or total?I have a JL XD400/4, it is 75Wx4 @ 4ohm, fantastic amp. Very small and can be bought for under 3 bones.

January 21, 201213 yr Author my speakers are 150 rms but i was looking for a small amp that might be able to fit in a crx dash out of sight Edited January 21, 201213 yr by ex650
January 21, 201213 yr my speakers are 150 rms but i was looking for a small amp that might be able to fit in a crx dash out of sightMy type R's are only 100rms each. The S takes less.
January 21, 201213 yr my speakers are 150 rms but i was looking for a small amp that might be able to fit in a crx dash out of sightMy type R's are only 100rms each. The S takes less.So your using exactly 100watts to each? Even when you turn the volume down?

The S takes less.So your using exactly 100watts to each? Even when you turn the volume down? No the gain is set to 80 watts per channel. 320rms total @ 80% volume and goes down from there. yes, I need all the juice baby

January 21, 201213 yr More headroom is never a bad thing as it allows better dynamic range and the ability to set the gain lower, which means a lower noise floor. That said, more power will increase the size of the amplifier in most cases (barring a substantial difference in efficiency, of course) and if the goal is to fit it in the dash, he'll probably be looking at double-digits per channel.Another option on those old CRXs would be under the dash-board in the center. Would allow more space, IIRC.

Would allow more space, IIRC.i was thinking of putting in the same spot your talking about...i just want something with a small foot print for power (so i dont have to run 4 ga wire to it)

January 22, 201213 yr Author the whole thing that got my idea on this was the alpine power pack....i seen one at best buy when walking around in there...i was looking for something with a little more power but about the same size would be nice or a small four channel amp

Sonic electronix on the internet. Smallest is 4x50rms a channel.
January 25, 201213 yr The Alpîne pdx are small and class D. 4 x 100 or 4 x 150Audiopipe has small amps too.Pioneer makes small 4 ch amps. goood luck
January 25, 201213 yr I know it's not 4 channel but have you looked at the sound digital sd250.2 it's the size of a wallet, class d so it's pretty efficient.
