Salamat po ng marami.

EDIT: may tweeters din nga po palang kasama yung DLS

In most cases, no you do not need to add another amplifier. Most head units have built-in 18W RMS mosfet amps into the head units and you might want to use those before jumping the gun for an amplifier.

The amount of wattage depends on your listening levels.

Sir, yung wattage level ba na ganoon for the speakers ay maganda na ang output for SQ with good bass? Salamat sir.

audio gurus, what's the better choice: 10 yr old rockford amp or brand new china amp (kinetic & lightning lab)?

how many watts per channel would be considered as SQ? how about LNC?

ano ano ang mga nakakabit sa v12 amp mo? kung yung sub lang and given karamihan ng v12 amps ay 4channel, 2 channel ang gamit ng sub.
50rms ang DLS RS6N, i think ok na ang v12 amp mo.

How many watts you need... depends on your system. The three most tell-tale indicators are: How loudly do you listen? How is your installation? How sensitive are your drivers?

SQ has never been loudness wars. It has always been: tonality, soundstaging, and imaging. If you do not know what those three are, Google is your friend. For what it's worth, most "SQ" judging sessions consume less than 200W in most cases.

I keep telling people. There's no SQ watts, there's no LnC watts. Watts is a measurement of rate of energy transfer. There's only OUTPUT. You can have a 2000W RMS mono amplifier feeding a 0.75 cu.ft sealed box and my 3 cu.ft ported box with 300W of power will STILL be louder.

People are overthinking your wattage needs and underestimating how powerful 100 watts really is. In fact, when you're simply doing background listening (80dB), you're using something like <20W of power.

Salamat sa inputs sir. I went for Kicker DS65. Kaso next week ko pa malalaman ang quality ng Kicker. Thanks again.

Noob here....My present audio setup for my Innova vvti 2008 is still the 2din stock audio (no video). Now 7inch tablets are quite cheap nowadays. Would a 7inch tab fit the audio compartment of innova? How about the audio connections or stock speakers of the car would it be workable?

The most common way is integration of the tablet and your head unit. This might come in the form of AUX or for the likes of iPads, their lightning connectors which are digital.

There's no way to make a tablet work in a car as a standalone device.
