    Looking for amplification advice

    Hi all,

    I have a non-hk 10-speaker e36 coupe. Currently have:
    -Deck: Alpine CDA-9855
    -Subs: JL-10w0 x 2 with JL JX250 amp = 250w.
    -Rear: Alpine R-Series 6x9 coaxial.

    -Front: Currently stock, but I am planning on installing Alpine R-Series 5.25" components (to match rear)

    I have an old amp I would like to use. Alpine V12 MRV-f300s: 50w x 4ch, or 75w x 2ch RMS.

    MY QUESTION: If I used the V12 amp, would it be better to amp just the fronts at 75w each or all 4 speakers at 50w?

    Thanks in advance.

    I would use your 4 channel to amplify each corner.

    I believe that the factory amp has built in crossovers. So, if you replace that amp with an aftermarket amp you’ll need to install crossovers.
