I'm just really frustrated as there are so many different type of amplifiers to choose from. Is there any pnp harness available for this particular setup? Just want to make this as plug n play as possible as I'm really concerned that something might go terribly wrong!īy the way, I have the older version of the Dynavin( d90?) Just out of curiosity, will it make a big difference when fitting the 4 channel amp route? (right front+rear/left front+rear=two channel AND front front seats subwoofers x2= two channel Thanks for the reply! Yes, it does come with the crossover(OEM) for the front mids/tweeters. ĭoes the individual mid and tweeter have a real crossover, if not Than none(if you have and N6) or you could forget about rear speakers entirely. Is it only has 4 channel delay, still I guess it will be better One of the things about the N6 that may be a compromise It has a channel for each of the major locations. That is one reason why the JL xd 600/6 is so popular, With each location on a different channel. You will get much better sound by doing the fronts Or, you can run both left doors on one channel and both right doors on another with the woofers on the remaining two.Ī lot of this people will on this board will say.

If you do, you can use either a single 6-channel amp or both a 4-channel and 2-channel amp. Whether you want 4 or 6 channels of amplification depends on whether you wish to amplify the rear speakers or not. This is, of course, less of a "clean" install. If you wanted to use a 4- and 2- channel you could put the woofers on the 2-channel and all the doors on the 4-channel. With a 6-channel amp like the XD600/6, you would just hook everything up like that. To break it down you have 3 channel pairs: One other option if you really want to amplify the rears but don't want to break the bank on an XD600/6 is to get a second 2-channel amp and use it to amp one of the channel pairs.

I think the factory BMW tweeters use an in-line capacitor as a "crossover" and unless you're an extreme audiophile you won't be running an active setup with separate channels for the tweeters so that shouldn't be a concern. The XD600/6 or similar 6-channel amplifier is definitely the ultimate choice if price is less of a concern because it gives you the most control in one compact package. Just to clarify, if you go with a 4-channel amplifier your rear speakers will still be powered but only by the head unit (so they won't be as loud). This is the setup I have (same amp too) and it gives me a lot of control and sounds very nice imo. Of course, a subwoofer/amp is always an option if you're into the low notes but it's not all that necessary if the underseat woofers are amplified.įor the record, I recommend option (2). (no need to run a remote out wire from most head units!)

It is very well-priced, offers very good power output, high efficiency (class D), small footprint, signal sense turn-on, and more. The 4-channel amplifier I recommend is the Pioneer GM-D8604. (One channel for left doors, one channel for right doors, one channel per woofer) *Here you would lose fader control (front/rear)* *I don't recommend this!*Ĥ) Using a 6-channel amplifier, amplify the front door speakers on one channel, the rear door speakers on a second channel, and the underseat woofers on a third. One channel per door, one channel per woofer.ģ) Using a 4-channel amplifier, amplify the front and rear door speakers as well as the underseat woofers. You don't need a separate channel for your tweeters.Ģ) Using a 4-channel amplifier, amplify the front door speakers and the underseat woofers. That said, I think these are your two best options (in no order of preference):ġ) Using a 4-channel amplifier, amplify the front and rear door speakers (mids/highs). Typically in car audio people don't bother amplifying the rear speakers since it messes with the sound stage and, as you spend most of your time in the front of the car, amplifying the front stage is more worthwhile. They're a lot less expensive than 6-channel amplifiers and typically provide better output/channel. Personally, I would recommend a 4 channel amplifier. In your system you have mids and tweeters in each of the doors and woofers under your front seats. I think going with a 4 or 6 channel system depends on what your musical preference is.
