MattyXXL Posted April 6, 2012 Report Share Posted April 6, 2012 Sheeeet, I have a 10" bazooka tube with a old JL W0 in the trunk . doesnt take up a lot of space and hit fairly hard inside the car, with out all that annoying buzzing out side the car when th bass hits... As far as amp goes.... if you get a good enough head unit you just need a 4 channel. 2 ch for your rears and 2 ch bridged for the sub Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7yearwait Posted April 6, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 6, 2012 ive been doing a little digging on shallow subs, and the preloaded and amped set ups like the infinity basslink etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MGD1 Posted April 7, 2012 Report Share Posted April 7, 2012 see thats where my knowledge runs out, 8 speakers means 8 channels right? so two 4ch amps? do they make a 8ch amp? and yes looking for a mono amp for two twelve inch kappas in the trunk Not quite...Typically you would have two mids upfront plus two tweets (4 spkrs, only 2 ch), then two mids in back plus two tweets (same deal). Or two mids in back plus two subs (which could be 4 spkrs and 4 ch, or 4 spkrs and 3 ch, subs would be on one channel). So... -2 Mid/2 tweet front, 2 Mid/2 tweet rear = 4ch -2 Mid/2 tweet front, 2 Mid/2 subs rear = 6ch -2 Mid/2 tweet front, 2 Mid/2 subs rear (subs on one ch in parallel or series) = 5ch -and the list goes on... You can configure your system however you want, the last two are most common. Your mid/tweet combo will go through a passive filter in parallel and placed on one channel per set.

7yearwait Posted April 16, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 16, 2012 Im not doing seperate components, just infinity kappas for the entire cabin so (2) 3in in the dash (4) 4inch for the doors and (2) 5.25 for the package shelf. I have 3 preamp outs on the headunit 1 mono/sub and then front and rear. I notice the headunit currently doesent supply much to the dash, the speakers run just dont hear them like the doors and the edeck, im assuming previous owner dident hook up correctly?

I notice the headunit currently doesent supply much to the dash, the speakers run just dont hear them like the doors and the edeck, im assuming previous owner dident hook up correctly? The front is a split component system, tweeters in dash and woofers in doors. I would highly recommend keeping it that way. Also, the doors are not 4", they're 5 1/4". The rear deck has 6"x9"s. So to properly replace, you're looking at one 5 1/4" component set, one pair of full range 5 1/4" and one pair of 6"x9" full range.I also like infinity and polk audio, and if it were me I'd split the rear doors and rear deck into separate channels, so a 6+1ch or a 6ch and a mono would be ideal. Just split the rear preamp outs to both rear inputs on the amp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Piston Slapper Posted April 20, 2012 Report Share Posted April 20, 2012 Just pay someone to monkey with your car. This thread is hopeless. Pretty much... if you're not going to spend the time to research what actually works on your car, don't try to do it yourself. And you'd be wasting your money on those power acoustik speakers... your factory speaker are better, unless they're blown, in which case replace them with factory speakers instead of that garbage. Trust me, 850s can sound great with factory speakers, single sub in trunk and a nice HU. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
