Just curious as to whether anyone knows any sites, programs or diagrams online to set up or rewire systems.

I have two 12' rockfords powered by my PG Octane 5.0.1 and I'm installing a new pg 4 channel for my front and rear speakers and plan on getting better speaker wire for them. Curious as to whether I run them to my deck or the sub.
Thanks

what yor speaker wire ?
or what wire ?

Didn't do the best explaining...My current amp that is powering the subs is going to be my slave amp. My new PG 1000w amp that is going to power my 6x9's 4x6's and tweeters. Right now I have factory wire going to my deck. My subs are fine but I wanna install higher end wiring for my speakers and i'm curious if it connects to my deck or if I run it to my sub..I've talked to two people at future shop about this and they both said the opposite. they are idiots..

Make sense? Also, what wiring would u recomend for my speakers.. i'm assuming 16ga..

Thx

do you have rca outs on the deck ?
if so run rca's to amp and run new wire to your speakers form there 12-14g wire
how do you hace the sub amp running ?

Yea, i'm 80% sure I have three RCA outs on my deck..
Pretty sure My amp is running off 8g wiring, mono block amp running the two subs, basic professional install that i didn't do. Hoping I could do it myself but if i have to rip my dash apart i'll pay to have it done

get a 4 g wiring kit or 0g the 8 will not do
you will need to remove the deck out of the dash
what car ?

Sorry, I assumed I had 8g for my 500w amp, it is prob 4g. It has been running for a solid two years with no problems. I just bought a stinger pro SWK8RS 8g complete kit for my 1000w 4 channel. I was informed by the salesman that that would work..He sounded out of it but I'm pretty sure i've read on here that 8g for works best for 1000w... I'm driving a 05 cavalier and I have an alpine deck..pretty sure the model number is c-2867

If you have an alpine deck, look at your manual. It has a section called "Installation".
And, guess what? It has a pretty good wiring diagram in it.
Download any alpine manual. They all have wiring diagrams.

Or, Look up an old thread on here called "Wiring Diagram", search is your freind...

Done this already, it shows basic hookups and nothing for master/slave connections. Hence me asking questions..Thx for the link tho
