Topic: Choosing AMP

[Newgen]

Hi Guys,

Just got my HU recently, a 9887, now planning on the next item, AMP!

So now, how much should I allocate for a decent 2 or 4 Channel Amp?
I do have a old 12" sub (BM Audio Labs) which is like more than 4 years old, from my old Saga.
Ya I know, to a lot of you guys, the Sub is a cap ayam sub... But what to do... Last time know nuts about ICE... and now still... So pls bare with me...


Current Setup:
HU - 9887
Front - German Maestro Alpha 6.5" Component Set
Rear - Original Saga BLM Speakers

Item in hand:
12" Sub Woofer (No AMP to power it yet)


So now, my plan is to power up all the speakers with AMP(s)
And MAYBE I want to try to play Active Setup(Tweeter and front woofer separated channel? Please correct me if I'm wrong)
So what amp and what kind of budget should I start with?
2 X 2 channel, 4 channel or 6 channel?

I saw someone selling this amp online, STEG QM75.6MX for like 1K, but I'm not sure if it's OK or not.

Please shed some lights!

 
Thank you!

Well Said! That's part of my plan, throwing the rear speakers away!

Well, not to say Throw lah, will de-activate it once my SUB is UP!

So Sifu-Sifu here, what kind of amp should I look for?
Whats the difference with A/B/D type amps?
If ask me Wireless A/B/G/N I can tell lah... :P

Thanks Calvinhpk, will go through those!

Have anyone of you heard of this amp? Alpine T320 (2 Channel), like RM350?
Any idea it's worth to buy or not? Looks like a very old amp thou, like 3 years...

[krayden]

3yrs ago was PDX models, b4 that i think MRV.

[craziechild]

t320 i thought was ages ago? no?

[Newgen]

No idea :P
But is it worth the money or hassle?

[Zenn]

not worth la, t is their lowest model and quite old also

[mnkh27]

Never know but if it's too old, repairs will cost you 1/2 or more than the amp itself.

[Newgen]

I see... Then will have scout for others de

[andoropoi]

Take the Focal FP4.75...im using it n quite satisfied....

[Xai-V-iaX]

The STEG amp SOLD off some time back. Get a 4 Channel first and take it from there. You can get good 'used' amps if you scout around properly....and may I ask why do you intend to go with 'Active' set-up?

The Steg sold off? You knew that amp also? So how was it like? Good? Or am I suppose to ask... "Are all Steg Amps good?" hehehe

Actually... I have really heard an Active's setup before... But from what i read online, it looks like it sounds more dynamic, and more detailed. Not too sure... I'm using cheapscate component sets without amps now... Have to live with what I have now cause I really only have that much to spend for now... got to save one ler... LOL... What to do... Gaji small small... Have to dream big!
:D

Anyway, my component set is only German Maestro... someone told me it's the "father" or "mother" of MB Quart discuss or somesort....
LOL...
