This is going to be a semi long post so bear with me a little.
So I just got my 2 Rockford T1D412's in the mail today along with my z130bt in-dash and now I need a new amp to power my subs and possibly a new amp for my front and rear speakers. i was loonking around and was considering going with a Hifonics Brutus 1700.1. Now here comes all the questions. Would I be better off to go with a 1200.1 and drop down the power a little bit? These are going in a 05 mustang and I dont want soo much power going to these subs that it drowns out my front and rear speakers. So is this a good route or is there a better option im missing. All suggestions are welcome.
Now as for what amp I should run for my front and rear speakers. Right now I have Alpine type-x in the front and Alpine SPS-57C2 speakers in the rear. The front component cut in and out sometimes and im not sure whats going on. I think they could be blown, but when they are on they sstill sound pretty good. The components I had before blew because they just werent rated that high, which was why I went with the alpine type-x's. So considering that im keeping the same speakers (I will upgrade them sooner or later) what would be a good amp to run with this complete system. Btw, i have a Alpine MRV-F540 running those speakers now and someone mentioned that I could re running the amp into clipping (whatever that is). So what should I do about an amp to power those speakers correctly. Keep in mind that I would also like it to be able to handle future upgrades if necessary.
Thanks for all the help in advance
