Hello everyone, forgive me for the dumb questions but I am completely new at wiring Subs and thought I'd ask the community for a little guidance on how to properly install two amps and subwoofers I was given by my dad because he didn't like them. Here's the setup and all of the gear I have to connect.
Vehicle : 2003 Toyota Sequoia Limited 4x4 with JBL audio and amp.
Amp #1: Elemental Designs Nine.4
Amp #2: Elemental Designs Nine.2
Subs - Two Elemental Designs subs with boxes
Head Unit - Pyle PLDN83BT.5
Wiring Kit - DS18 Amp kit 4 gauge + Two RCA Y Cables and two Power/Ground distribution blocks
I get that I'll need to run the 4 gauge power from the battery through the firewall, install the distribution blocks to provide power to both amps and for grounding them along with the Remote wire. Where I'm running into issues is these are not Monoblock amps and I only need them to run two subwoofers as I want to keep my stock JBL amp and speakers they work great, just looking to add a little thump to the bass. I'm unsure of which Channels I need to connect the subwoofers to from the amps and how to connect the amps properly to this specific head unit. I've attached photos of the amps and the back of the head unit for reference if any of you audiophiles could help me out you'd be saving me a trip to geek squad. I'll be upgrading the amps and subs eventually but for now this is what I have to work with. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!
