5-channel amp recommendations
5-channel amp recommendations
I'm at the point where I want to replace the Nakamichi system in my SC300. It will basically be a new double DIN head unit and an amplifier powering the speakers in stock locations. I already have Boston's in the deck and doors and would like to reuse the Nak sub.
I have been out of the car stereo scene for over a decade and need advice on a new 5 channel amp. Nothing crazy. Power is not what I'm looking for. Even if they are 25W RMS x4 + 75w x1 for the sub, I will be happy. I was happy with my Nak system before the amp and CD started crapping out.
Looking mostly for small, compact size. Maybe one of those newer cool running digital amps. Any and all recommendations will be appreciated. Thanks guys.

elemental designs nine.5 if you can find one or dls audio a7. the ed nine.5 is kinda like a cheaper version of the dls a7 there was some testing on diyma i believe and it puts out ~1000w rms @1ohm i have one myself =)

Wattage of current speakers?
If you're not planning on replacing your speakers and sub, you're limited by the power handling capacity of these speakers. You definitely don't want an amp which will blow these speakers away.
Do you remember what's the rating of these speakers?

Boston's in the doors and deck. Don't know what the power handling of the Nak sub is. It's too bad what you said about the PDX. It seemed like it might fit the bill. I'll do more research on it. Hopefully they release an updated version. The massive and elemental look sweet but might be a butt more than what I need. Especially in the sub area.
The Boston components I have will handle most of these amps. The Nak amp was 100 watts to the sub, likely peak, at 5 ohms. So an amp putting out around 150-200 watts at 4 ohms should be fine.

I have that amp replaced the main door speakers and used the stock amp to run the smaller speakers and the stock sub. This amp is running 4 6.5 and two 1 inch tweets and a 12 DVC sub with no issues and its quite loud.
