I already have Phoenix gold components powered by a sony 4 channel amp up front.chuyler1 said:
the rear has the custom fg box with holes for two 12" subs. Ive had two entry level mtx's being driven off the rear channel of the sony 300 watt amp.. so 150 watts were powering two 12" mtx's for about 2 years before one died.. and that was only because I left it out in the sun and it came apart.
I just want something decent to fill in the bass.. not something overpowering.
Oh yeah...s***. I forgot. Hmmm.
The MTX Thunder421 would be better suited for powering a pair of MTX Thunder4500s. That is probably the most economical solution.
A more powerful amp is another solution but the deal on the MTX amp is pretty good and it would be hard to find something better at retail prices.

gonna go with the MTX 5500's if I do get the MTX amp.chuyler1 said:
slight upgrade.. hopefully those arent too much louder.plus the amp has to fit in that custom spot there in the fg box.. speaking of which.. im going outside to measure that space now.. brb
The 5500s have a sensitivity of 89db while the 4500s have a sensitivity of 93db. That means that the 4500s should make more sound with the same power, but can only handle 225w RMS instead of 300w RMS. So unless you have 300w RMS to give them, you are better off with the 4500s.
That ampiflier form MTX is pretty small. It should fit just about anywhere.

I'm running a 421D, it should fit in the space you have. It's a great little amp, and I think you'll be happy with it, especially at that price!
Plenty of room for the amp I have...

It could power your entire system.

Infinitys are ok. Besides the shape, the solo baric is just ok. I know the MB Quart amps are awesome but I'm not sure about the subs. They're supposedly known for the separates but you probably can't find those anymore, if anything, you'll get real lucky on e-bay or something. My understanding is MB Quart went bankrupt somewhere in Germany or something; however, I think Crutchfield has a good return policy if you have a problem w/ what ever you buy from them.

IF you buy any car audio parts from sony, I'm going to fly to Hawaii and set your car ablaze.
A system comprised of all Sony equipment is all show and no go. For the same price you can get quality audio components that will sound better.
If I were to choose a brand to go all out with it would be Alpine or Eclipse. If we were just talking speakers and amps I would include JL Audio, DLS Audio, and a/d/s in that lineup since they don't offer head units.
