Ok so..
I have slowly been buying pieces to the puzzle for my audio system.

Right now I have:
JBL 7001 mono amp (700w RMS 1500peak)
Pioneer Premier sub(750w rms 2000peak)

Going to buy this week
JBL gto607C front components ( 70w rms 210peak)
JBL GTO8627 rears (60w RMS 180 Peak)
JBL GTO504 4ch- amp (70w rms x 4ch)

is my 4CH amp enough to power those speakers? What do you think?

Let me know! I want to make sure this sounds best as can be.

Thx.

components = tweeters



That amp seems like it will be fine to power everything.

Everything seems good make sure you include the following. Does your headunit have hi-volt out?

- High quality speaker wire 12 gauge is what I used in mine.
- High quality RCA cables
- Good quality AMP Kit.
- dynamat or B-quiet sound deadener depending on your budget

The system will only be as good as the parts connecting it.

Other than that it should sound great and your amp will have enough juice.

Just to let you know, your sub amp is under powering your sub. Don't increase the gain control to get higher bass or you'll get distortion and will eventually damage your sub/amp.

For a balanced 2way system even with sealed sub it would be better to have somewhere a half of sub’s power (350 watt ). Your set has a 70*2+60*2=260 watt. It’s more than enough to become deaf and to have all kinds of rattle problems, for comparison, let say the stock HU has 11watt per channel=45 watt.
Possible you want a maximum. With more powerful mid-high amplifier and speakers you will have more space for tuning.

Cant wait to get this baby bumpin!!

Sorry, for so late response, I think you already have done a decision. With sub and amplifier for sub the all is ok.
You have a quite big sub. If you intend to use the sub in its full power it would be better to have more powerful amplifier for high spectrum of sound. I’d recommend
4x80 or 4x100.
These RMS rated for 1% of THD. For low spectrum it’s acceptable. Midrange spectrum is most important in terms of THD. The high-end audio has it somewhere 0.01- 0.1% Usually you can have much lower percent of THD if amplifier playing with 20-30 percents less power than declared by RMS.
