Hey Everyone,

Quick question:

I am looking at getting the Kappa Five amp which is rated at 4x50W RMS @ 4 Ohms and 1x350W RMS @ 2 Ohms to power Kappa Perfect 6.1 components in the front and Kappa Perfect 5.1 in the back which are both 100W RMS @ 4 Ohms. I am also looking to get a Kappa Perfect 10DVQ which is rated at 350W @ 2 Ohms.

Is that under powering the speakers?

I don't need loud, I want clean and crisp.

Thanks in advance!
 
That should be great for the speakers, but turn the amp only 3/4 or a little more up when you're tuning it or you'll quickly wear it out if you listen on close to full blast often.

I have full kappa series components all around in my 3g on a 200watt peak 2 channel amp and it sounds awesome.
 
Well I think that it would be okay. I was using Kappa 62.9i in the front previously with the stock Infinity amp so I thought it would be fine.

Any other opinions?

Also should I run the tweeters from the component system to the dash or have seperate Kappa tweeters or a multi-element speaker in the dash and the component tweeters in the door?

Any suggestions?
