Help with my amp install

[kab69440]

I have a generic 50w head unit and 4 speaker channels (only 2 in use with 6" round speakers) and have never needed more. I wouldn't even bother with an amp.

My head unit is 52w X 4, roughly 17w/channel for four speakers. May look at just getting another battery to power it up. Any suggestions on a battery that is not too big that can still go under the seat. I could put a smaller one where the voltage reducer is currently located.

So I guess my options are the following:
1. Get a 12 V battery to power the system.
2. Get a higher amp voltage reducer for current amp to see if it works, anyone know where to get one.
3. Get a 2 channel amp and power 2 speakers per channel(any suggestions)
4. Get a separate voltage reducer for the JBL amp

Any other input will be gladly accepted.

From what you posted earlier in the thread, I deduce you want to run 4 x Polk Atrium 4 speakers and 2 x Polk 525 MM speakers as woofers.

If the impedance of a Atrium 4 is a 4 ohm or higher, two can be paralleled to a single output on the MA6004, so only two of the MA6004's four amps are used.
The other two can drive the two 525 MM's, or the two amps can be bridged and drive the 525's is parallel also.

To handle the amps the MA6004 can draw, you'll probably be better off going the auxiliary 12V battery route.

OR:
Drive the 4 x Atrium 4 speakers from the Head unit amps and the two 525's from the Blaupunkt amp.

Actually 2 Polk atrium speakers, 2 Polk 525 MM and one powered sub.

Ok guys, the problem has been solved.

Bought a deep cell 12V Marine battery and tada! Amp, speakers, subwoofer and head unit are now jamming! Thanks to all that helped me with this project. Great forum!
