just a seemingly basic question that im certain most of you know.
im hooking up my 4 channel alpine to my stage speakers(front spes and rr coaxs 6.5's), then have another mono alpine to drive one soundstream ref 12.
question- will a mutli amp kit work, or do i need a multi amp kit PLUS a special 4 channel RCA jack?
any advice would greatly be appreciated as we all know these kits are not cheap.
looking to go 4 guage?
4 channel 80w x 4 RMS, and will bridge the mono to run 300w RMS to the sub. doing all this in my 97 es 3.
already built the 12" sealed box for the sub( too mathematically challenged to figure out the port specs), and cust fabricated amp cabinet so amps will sit flush mounted, hiding the sub that will be facing the back seats.
ok audio gurus, lay your knowledge upon the!

 

title should say KIT and front SEPERATES no SPES

 

????????????????????? "anyone anyone, bueller, bueller, bueller?"

 

if you want to do it you can do a 4 gauge back then distribute it to 2 8's for the amps. You can run three two channel RCAs or a 4 channel RCA & a 2 Channel RCA. just depends on what you want and how good you want it to sound.

I don't think you should have to go any bigger than 4 gauge for the alpine amps, they're not big current drawing amps. If you wanted to step it up you could go with 1/0 and distribute to 4.

 

music to my ears. big ups

 

if i purchased a 4 ch RCA, and a Y adapter, would i still need to run another 2ch RCA to the head? been having a week long debate with a friend on what will work. i prefer quality, and try to purchase quality equip for a complete sound stage. friend is more of a backyard hookem up, let em boom kinda cat. again, IM NOT INTO THE BACKYARD hook em up fast method. i prefer QUALITY. any help so i can tell dude to ****. or any info i can find on how to PROPERLY run my 4 channel and my mono sub amp without doing it ghetto-style. thanks again for the assiatance

 

why do you want to do a Y adapter? that's going to make it sound like dookie.

what headunit are you running?

 

thats the last thing i want. i have some BS pionet er deh5800 for now, it came with the vehicle. just making sure i can run a 4 ch RCA from my 4ch alpine. then another 2 ch from my mono alpine. just read today that the deck i currently have consists of 3 pre amp outputs. so that tells me that i CAN run a 4 ch RCA from amp to head, then another 2 ch RCA from amp to head (sub output(, correct?
so what hardware shall i purchase other than my RCAS. a multi amk kit ( 4g ) consisting of???
lay it on my pal, i have a good idea of whats needed. just need some solid reaffirmation. thanks for assisting me. i am quite **** about perfection and sound quality, and less concerned with spl or loud bass.

 

everything you just said will work just fine.

RCAs
Power Wire
Remote turn on

then wires to the speakers, that's all you need

 

many thanks...............in the garage we go!
