I need a car amplifier for an old coaxial speaker?

Question

Ok, so i already have a system in my navigator,but i lack midbass and need a little more tweeter. I found a 12" JBL coaxial midbass/ tweeter combo in my house. Its a very odd speaker, but i love it. It runs 50 rms @ 8 ohms, I believe. The tweeter is about 2 and 1/2 inches and the woofer is a little under 12 inches in diameter. It was origionally made for a stereo system, but it was thrown away. The tweeter is built into the woofer cone (it isn't suspended above it). I currently have it in my garage in a 1 cu. foot sealed box powered by a cheap sony stereo amp. I need some suggestions on how to power it in my car. I already have 4 coaxial kicker door speakers, an amp to power it, 2 15" mtx 7500's, an amp to power it, and a optima yellow top under the hood. Thanks for the help.

Answer 1

get an amplifier with 100 watt rms @ 4 ohms

as your speakers will present a load of 8 ohms at the amp the power output will become half i.e. 50 watt rms @ 8 ohms

there are many amplifiers in the market - you didn't mentioned any budget but look into

alpine

jbl

kicker
