Simple amp and speaker install.....advice appreciated
Discussion
I've got a mk1 Renault Twingo which I'm looking to upgrade the audio in, but really not sure what to order. It's only a tiny car.
Currently it has 100mm speakers on the dashboard, and 130mm speakers in the door panels. You can get 165mm speakers in the doors, which is what i'd like to do.
I'm going to leave the original headunit in place, but not use it. Source will be my phone, linked to a JL Audio MBT RX V2 bluetooth receiver. This has lineouts which will go to an amplifier.
What I need help with is speccing the amp and speakers.
Would I be ok with pairs of coaxial 10cm and 16.5cm speakers fed by a 4 channel amp? Or would that be a bit light?
Would I better with a small subwoofer too, and if so, would that need a separate mono amp, or do I just run all 4 front speakers together from 2 channels and bridge the others for the sub?
Any advice would be really appreciated.
