Q: Hey.. I have a clarion 300w amplifier and a 8" subwoofer that i don't know the wattage.. they came in a nissan sentra 2005 the model is WN-106M-01 if anyone knows what wattage is please let me know.. ok the question is i just bought a ford contour 2000 and i want to put these things in it.. what kind of radio cd / mp3 can or should i use. I don't know anything about car stereos and audio.. so what should i look for?

A: Well, i have a Pioneer (very great company, always producing reputable products) DEH 4800 MP. It has been a great head unit, and i like to consider myself a connoisseur of head units as i have purchased 3 different ones and found this one to be PHENOMENAL for the price. It has settings for everything. Even has a very very in depth equalizer. The stereo also has loudness enhancers (helps deficiencies in loudness) which makes a world of difference. Has very good high pass frequencies and low...

well, i would probby just go with a pioneer deck or something along the line. and the power you will be pushing i believe would be around 120 to 150 watts, i dont know if you could bridge it, but with that 8 inch sub i wouldnt go for too much power, although it is more than likely not a bad sub, seeing the brand, clarion is pretty good, and they stand up to what thier job is

What I don't understand, is this:

• RMS Power @ 4 Ohms: 60W x 4 @ 14.4V
• Bridged RMS Power @ 4 Ohms: 180W x 2 @ 14.4V

How could the bridged wattage be so high if its the same Impedance? shouldn't that be 120W X 2?


A: when the amplifier is bridge the single channels play at 2 ohms
or the amplifier sees half of the speakers ohms
amplifier is 90W × 4 Into 2 Ohms, 20Hz-20kHz @ < 0.1%THD
per channel if you bridge that at 4 ohms you get 180

Are Clarion Car Amplifiers Good Quality?

haven't seen any reviews on clarion amps are they worth getting im after a Clarion APX1301 Mono Block Car Amplifier just wondering if that's a good choice or any other suggestions are welcome spending between $200-$300AU got a dvc 400wrms or 800w peak soundstream sub to power cheers


A: Its an over rated amplifier. There are much better amps out there. you can get a nice fosgate for 300 or HiFonics, not as good as fosgate but better than clarion.

New Clarion DPX amplifiers?

Written by KZ | Saturday, May 02, 2009

I have 2 rockford fosgate P3's that are 500 watts rms each. I need an amplifier, and i was originally going to get the alpine mrp-m1000 because it matched up perfectly and was a pretty good price. I just came across the brand new Clarion DPX amplifiers, and saw one particular amp that cought my eye. It is 1550 rms at 2 ohms and 850 rms at 4 ohms. It seems like a good price for the output power, but i dont want to ruin my subs. Is this amp ok to get? Can i just not run it to the max?

A: yes it does
