Lightbulb Car Audio Advice

Hello all.
I'm Adrian. Nice to have access to you all.

I have some question on Audio for my 4dr 1998 Grant Prrix GT.

I have 2 subs @ 300W RMS each, 2 6x9" Speakers @ 200W RMS each, 2 5.25" 60W RMS each and 2 3.5" 60W RMS each speakers.

Now i'm a real novice at these things but I'm hoping i can get help.

I would like to know what type / specs of amp i should get and should i get 2 or more, should i get cross-overs, fuses and so on.

The reason why i ask is that is all the articles on the web them mention fuses.

Also should i just buy a sub-box form the Pickering flee market ?

Thank you all and look forward to you advice

Adrian

I would be looking at a 4 channel for your internal speakers and a 2 channel or mono block for your subs. Most amps come with crossovers and fuses built in but you should always fuse the power line. For the box I would get something custom built for the subs you are using.

You can't just get a box and expect your sub to play at it's full potential, you need a box made specifically for the sub you are using.

Yeah, getting a box and then filling it with subs is a waste of money. build the box around the subs not the other way around....

It would also help to know the type of subs/speakers that you are running. Depending on how hardcore you want to go with bass, SQ, etc, then you would have to build it more to spec, but if you are not too concerned, putting subs into a generic box would work too.
