Well i really would like a 5 channel, 4 for the speakers and mono for the
sub... Pyle only has a 6 channel so that will work too...

I didn't want to have a second amp just for the sub, and didn't want to get
a powered sub...

What do you suggest?

I would probably use a 4 channel amp thats convertable to 3 channel.
One for the sub and a stereo output for two sets of 4 ohm speakers.
The amp must be able to drive 2 ohms, else use 8 ohm speakers.
Driving low ohms produces more heat, unfortunately.

Yes but what about the moutning / location of the AMP, i want to keep is
as
dry as possible, along with all my other stereo equipment, but am unsure
if
it needs 'Air' to breath, a location the has constant airflow, whichi n a
boat would be difficult..

Thanks!

I have a 21' bowrider and plan on redoing the stereo system. Getting a
marine Amp, Subwoofer, Headunit, 4 speakers.

Question:

I plan on getting a 6 channel AMP anyone have any experience on
mounting,
as far as where? I was going to put it in a compartment that really
doesn't get airflow but is somewhat ventalated, does the amp need alot
of
constant airflow? The subwoofer is going to be in an enclosure and
non-powered.

Any help is appreciated.


Why do you need 6 channels ?
Surely needs air to breath. You must use a fan in an enclosed area
with entry air points. Some amps allready have fans. My old
Pioneer amp had two fans that went along with the music.
If heat is a real concern, a full switching amp is the best
way to go.

PLYE oh the good old days. Pyrimid watts or Pyle watts they call them.

I remember when Pyle was a decent American manufacturer of speakers.

There is something to be said for throwaway electronics in sal****er
marine
installations. Typical "Marine" equipment is usually cheap with some kind
of O rings
somewhere.
