Got a question on how i should set my system up. First of it's a 99 Tacoma extnd cab pick up. My equipment is a Alpine CDA 9855 Deck, 2 JL AUDIO 300/4 amps, KAPTION MTP 6.5 components and a JL AUDIO 10w1v2 sub in a seal enclosure.

what i want to ask is would which way would be the best to run the amps

1. Use 1 JL 300/4 . 1 set of channels to run tweeters,other set to run mids. then use the other JL 300/4 have 1 set of channels bridged to run the sub and bridge the other channel and run a centre channel.

2. Use 1 JL 300/4 bridge both channels and run the mids . use the other JL 300/4 bridge 1 set of channels to run the sub, and the other channels to run the tweets.

3. Use 1 JL audio to seperatly run the mids and tweets, and the other JL 300/4 to run the sub and rear fill?

Any suggestions comments welcomed. I want to make this truck nice and clean sounding

I can't do without my rear fill speakers and I regularly have passengers. I suggest you try your system with and without rear speakers and decide for yourself. My personal findings have been that without the rear fill, my system has less ambiance and sounds dead( kind of like FM in mono). I know many believe rear fill is a waste of time, but I suggest you use your own ears to tell you what sounds good.

Rear fill is great when used properly

I use L-pads for your issues
