Does anyone drive uprated speakers off headunit?

<< < (2/2)

Alexander:
thanks VC think ill give it a go!will make sure I carefully match up headunit and speakers , done quite a few audio installs, never done anything with 3 ways though so wondered how they would drive off 50w.
will be saving up the pennies for a real top notch amp install so its nice and hidden!

Hurdy:
I'm driving the rear coax's off the head unit (Kenwood DNX 7200) and it sounds spot on. The front 3 ways and the sub are driven off a 4 way Audison amp. All the speakers are Hertz "Hi-energy" range and are excellent quality. :happy2:

Hedge:
In my Mk2 Octavia I had uprated speakers. DLS 6.5 components upfront and DLS coaxials in the rear.
Initially this was driven by an Alpine 9583 if I remember correctly. I hated it, couldn't make it sound right, so put the standard HU back.
Then came a MFD2 which was light years ahead and finally I ended up running those speakers from a RNS510 (Columbus in Skoda speak).

To my aging ears it sounded pretty good. In fact better than the current RNS510 and 10 speakers I have in the Golf.

For me I think the speakers need to be the first port of call as I am a fan of the RNS. If I can amp them then even better. :smiley:
