audio set-up for beginners (ARCHIVED)

For me, the MTX wins over the V12 anytime. That is if its the Korea or Taiwan V12. If original Alpine then it might be a different story.

Your MTX is a complete 4 channel amp in the sense that it has built in crossovers, bridgable, 2 ohm stable and has enough power for your system.

Try to use your MTX 1st, kung bitin ka sa bass, then you can add another amp. This way you don't spend if you don't need to. But if you really want a 2nd amp, get one that will give you more than the 200 watts the MTX will pump out (bridged mode).

For everyday listening, 200 watts is plenty. My amp thats underrated, is only supposed to give my sub 100 watts. Its good enough for me. However, if you are a bass head or building a SPL sysytem, then you will need more power and possibly more subs.

Anyway, what is the power handling capacity of your Sony sub, in RMS?

Personally, I don't like capacitors. Personal bias, I prefer to have less things in the system. Also less things to spend on. That said, if you really want it, go buy it. It won't hurt. A .5 farad cap will be enough. But if you can buy a 1 farad, then you will get more headroom.

Since your system is for personal listening and not for competition, I suggest that you try it without a capacitor. If you notice your lights dimming when the bass hits, then a cap might help you.
