    Iam building a car audio system so far ive got

    In Phase IPS720i - Headunit

    In phase XT52ND 13cm 200w Front door speakers.
    In Phase XTC32 8cm 120w back seats.

    These Wired to the headunit

    Then

    Inphase XTC693 = 6x9 400wat on parcel shelf.
    Vibe Sq8 Evo 8" Active Subwoofer 900w = in boot.

    Wired to the AMP.

    Now ive got two amps to choose from ?

    MT2004 Mutant 200w 4channel Amp
    OR
    SUB Zero 4channel 1000w Amp.

    What one would be ideal ? im a bit new to this :) so if theres a
    better way of running the system using both amps or none of them let
    me no. cheers. Oh and i believe the sub has its own amp, i dont no if
    this matters ? but i really wanted it to be wired to my amp which will
    be next to it in the boot.

    Any help and advice would be great ! cheers

    to be honest, ive only heard of the vibe brand up untill recently. the rest i dont beleive are availible in the states.

    i assume your from the UK cause you said boot, and cheers,lol.

    sorry if im no help. hopfully someone might be able to help you out.

    but i will add this.... when looking for an amp, always look for the "rms power" specs. thats what you wan to know. the max power output is more than likely an over blown rating. a low THD number is good too. that will determine how clean the power will be at your listening level. most amps will have at least a .5% rating. lower that will be better but not too noticable, except to your wallet.
