Need help / Receiver & Amp
Simple question. If a receiver has an internal amp and pre-amp outputs can I install a remote amplifier. I've changed my mind from Alpine 9815 and am ready to purchase a Kenwood Excelon KDC-X817 and a HiFonics ZX 6400 Amplifier to go with Focal CA130 and165 speakers. Is this a reasonable setup? Really need help as I can't get any tech help from the online stores that I will purchase from. THANKS!!!!

The CDA-9815 is a very :cool: head unit. You can customize that thing in more ways from here to Sunday. All you need to do is set the PWR-IC setting off to disable the internal amplifiers.

Your setup sounds good, but what will you do for bass? You are not going to get much sound below 80 Hz even out of the best components.
