Okay this may sound confusing, but ill do my best to clearly state my questions. First I'll explain my setup (given that i get the other things i need).

1 x Clarion VRX755VD
2 x 12" Premier TS-w3001D4
2 x 6x9 JBL P953
4 x 5 1/4" JBL P552(in doors)
4 x ~3" mids/highs (in doors)
1 x Hifonics BXi-2006D
1 x (amp for P953's)
1 x (amp for P552's)
1 x 2 Farad capacitor
1 x Kicker PKD1 0 guage
1 x Red top battery
1 x "big 3"
1 x 130a alt

Now for the questioning. First I'll start with the 4 - 5 1/4" speakers+amp+wires.
I have the 4 speakers in my doors, 1 per. Does that mean I need 4 channels from my amp? The speakers are 55/165 (RMS/peak). The same question pertains to my 6x9's. Do I need a 2 channel to send to my P953's? They are 110/330 (RMS/peak).

Next would having my two 6x9's @ 4ohm would they stay 4 ohm or would i wire them like my subs in parallel? Same for the 5 1/4" @ 4 ohm?

That would add up to 3 amps in my trunk. Is it possible for me to have 1 run of 0 guage until my trunk (other than hitting my 300a fuse it is a solid run) into my capacitor (which is grounded nearby) then dist block'd (both + and - ) to all 3 amps? say I'd be running 2000w @ 1ohm to my subs, 220w @ 4ohm to my 6x9s and 220w @ 4 ohm to my 5 1/4s?

In that case brings up another question, would I be able to just get a 2 channel amp and run the 6x9s off it and the 5 1/4's off it since they'd be the same wattage? Or can you not wire like subwoofer wiring?

If hypothetically I had run all 3 amps (totalling 2440watts) to dist blocks and through my cap would the 0 guage run and 300a fuse be able to handle that kind of power? If I could do this I would get a larger capacitor.

I've put way too much thought into this I know, but I need to get sorted out finally before I buy some and make a mistake.

Last question, would it sound pretty sick? even with my mids just wired stock (not going to go that far)



Thank you for any answers or help pertaining to my situation. And props if you even read it all not just glanced.

EDIT:

Say I get a JBL GTO75.2 II (97w x 2 channels @ 4ohms) for my JBL P953s rated 110w @ 4 ohms, under powering them by 13w wont ruin them will they?

The same for a JBL CS60.4 (60w x 4 channels @ 4ohms) for my JBL P552s rated 55w @ 4 ohms, overpowering them 5w wont ruin them?

The amp wont ruin them its the gain and volume **** that does that.
You can run your door speakers and 6x9s all off of 1 four channel amp, must want it loud.......

masterstone

that and I'm always listening to music so why not have it sound good?

How would I wire it to a 4 channel wouldn't all the channels have to be the same? such as having 60w all around I'd underpower the 6x9s by almost half, wouldn't i?

In that case though I'd get a nice 4 channel hifonics to look good with my other one =)

Honestly man you want all this stuff and looks like your good for the money to

So just get a nice 4 ch amp for mids-highs(speakers in doors) and a nice 2 channel amp for them 6x9's as it seems you really want to them to be nice and loud.

Or get a bigger 4 ch amp, lets say 90x4 and run all the speakers of that

as to the Run of 0/1 I would just do one but if you really want 2 runs go for it

but I must ask how are you going to vent the bass from coming inside the cabin, those Caddy’s are solid and don't let a lot in.

I owned a 94 Deville once and a lot of other people have done this to

1,Run all the speakers of a 4 ch amp
2,leave the 6x9's out
3,make a nice rear deck and have the subs port out the stock 6x9 openings you don't have to cut any metal if you don't want to.

you'll get all the bass you want that way and will have a nice looking rear deck

I'll get some pictures to tell what I'm talking about

Thanks, and yes I am good for the money, I plan to have this finished as well as some nice rims and have my 1969 shovelhead insured by next april.

As for the 5 1/4's in the door, I've realized they are already hooked up to my deck alone, 53watts x 4ch, which is good enough for those as they are stock and the upgrade will be enough to satisfy me. I am going to buy the 2 channel for the 6x9s yes, and I want it loud

as for the one run, I'd much rather do that because, you know what I mean, caddy's arent the easiest to run shitloads of wire through. The run, after I split it in the trunk, my dist block goes from 1/0 and splits into 2 - 4guages, is there anywhere I can get ones bigger? If not I have another run of 4 guage which will probably be fine.

as to the Run of 0/1 I would just do one but if you really want 2 runs go for it

The bass factor, yes mighty tricky but I've figured that part out already.

I have a box for two 12's with a "reverberated" port in between them. It is a 1.6cu ct and my subs call for 1.4cu ft, oh well I'll live. anyways you know the backseat arm rest between the two seats? Ohhhhhh yeah



that is the front seat, looks the same. The arm rest there.... in my back seat it folds down, and behind it (between the trunk and my interior) was a piece 1.5 x 1.5 cu ft of leather the same color as my interior, as well as a thicker piece of rubber for heating/cooling purposes I figured. I took that out and voila. Set back a few inches my box will pump the air right out the port into my back seat, hopefully simulating sitting in the back seat of an explorer with 2 12's behind ya.

Good idea? bad idea? I'm going to try it . Thanks for the reply im heading out as we speak to grab a few things.
