car audio info please

I have an amp that I want to hook up my 4 speakers to, the amp is already hooked up and grounded, so is this diagram correct otherwise? Thanks in advance

 

best car audio setup by far

 

your going to want a 4 channel amp, the way you have this wired you wont have a front and rear.

What i would do is connect the front two speakers to the head unit then connect the rear output from the head unit to the amplifier then connect your rear speakers to the amp. Then adjust your gain on your rear speakers so they are not over powering the front speakers.

If its an aftermarket headunit it should have some decent power to run some door speakers.

Send me some more details i will try to help you some more.

** Also you have to watch the impedance when wiring series or parallel, your amplifier will have to be a 2ohm stable amp to run the way you have it now. If its a cheap-o amp it prob doesnt go to 2ohms?

 

the amp is a Rockford fosgate, the damn thing is HUGE the head unit is a JVC KD R 210 2 door speakers and 2 rear 6x9 speakers

 

What's the load impedance?

 

the wife having a headache!!

 

well that JVC headunit says it will do 50watts that will push those speakers just fine without an amp. Are you planning on putting any subwoofers in somewhere? I would just use that amp for a sub or two.

Im not sure what your going for sound quality or just as loud as you can make it? it all depends what you want.

That rockford will probably do 2 ohm just fine but you will still not have a front and rear if you wire it like your drawing.

 

You need to have power from the battery with a fuse with 8 gauge wire , a ground wire . a remote wire from the head unit usually a blue wire . this will turn the amp on and off . then rca cables from the head unit this supplies the music then wire your speakers and you will be ready for some tunes.

 

You can certainly run the amp the way you have it diagrammed, you just won't be able to fade front to rear. Personally that wouldn't work for me, but it doesn't bother some people as much.

If you only have 2 channels of amplifier power, it's usually better to power the front speakers with the amp and run the rears off of the deck power. Deck power is often rated max power, so it's actually about 25W per channel. The reason that you want to power the fronts with the amp instead of the rears is twofold. 1.) when was the last time you went to a concert and stood with your back to the crowd, 2.) the rears mounted in the rear deck will get some gain from the shape of the rear gl***/deck area, while the door speakers are firing straight across the car.

 

Looking at the amp. It is a 4 channel amp you dont need to hook up the speakers in parallel. you will have front to back fade control plus you can control the gain for front to back balance.Since the radio only has two rca outputs go to radio shack or best buys and get 2 y connectors so you can use both sides of the amp.

 

I only see 2 speaker outs, the additional 2 RCA jacks are probably a p***through, so you can daisy chain 2 of these amps, using the internal crossover of the amp to cut all of the lows from one amp and all of the highs from the other.

 

there are only 2 speaker outputs so the other is problaly a p*** thru .

 

the second set of RCA's is an output to feed signal to a second amp. Just wire it as the diagram shows...but put a 100mfd capacitor on the positive input of each front speaker, this will x-over the smaller speaker high enough to play it loud without them ****ping out & let the 6X9's drop down as low as they will play. I remember when I put more money into that **** than the motor...thank god that with age come wisdom! Good Luck!
