An amplifier question.
Another example of the 928 whirlwind...I got caught in this vortex when I picked up a new head unit (a JVC KD-NX5000). Next I thought, time to change the original speakers so I acquired a pair of MB Quart QSD 210's and QSD164's.
Now my head is spinning after reading all the posts on the value of an amplifier. Looks like I will be pulled in a little deeper.
My questions is, can one amp. meet my needs such as:

or

or

I've searched and read all the current stuff but to be honest, I can't even pretend to understand sound stuff. Rebuild an engine - no problem...pick out the appropriate sound stuff...forget it.
Thanks for any help.

yes.
4 or 5ch amp will serve nicely. Typically mounting location dictates setup, since you'll have to find a location that suits your visual tastes. Hence, many use multiple smaller amps to locate to their suiting or provide more flexibility to hiding them.
fwiw - 4x55, 1x200 is a nice power level.

Looks like a nice amp - size/location would be the primary issue. If you are going to run it at high levels you will need a smoothing cap to avoid dropouts - esp with a sub-woofer. May not be needed at moderate levels...

Mike,
No matter what you do, your system will not be complete without some kind of sub-woofer. The factory speaker locations in a 928 do nothing for real bass. I lucked across a custom made box that fits in place of the spare & use 2 Punch amps, one with 150 for the bass & the other with 50X2 for the MB Quart 2 ways I put in the factory 6.5" location. The whole setup raises the rear deck about 3.5 inches & with the carpet on you can barely tell it's there. I run an Alpine deck which powers the door speakers (infinity) & controls my Ipod which is about all I listen to though the deck has a CD & can control satellite as well. Good luck & email if you have any Q's.
