Help! I need some guidance for my upgrade!

[Philly2Cincy]

I have an 06 Saturn Vue with a db11 1400 running a 15" American bass 700w rms 2 ohm, factory stereo, factory rear speakers and two 6.5" hifonics 100w rms. I wanted to add a 2 channel amp to the two front speakers (the amp I have was free but it's old) but I don't really want to tap into the stereo. I was thinking about getting a soundstream ST4.1000db Bluetooth amp and two Kicker CSC65 (46CSC654) for the front and two Deaf Bonce Machete LW-65A4 for the rear. I'm keeping the sub and amp set up I already have. The issue I'm having is figuring out the small stuff, the fuses, the wire gauges, distribution blocks, if the gear I want to get will all work with eachother. Anyone who can give feedback would be appreciated

I can't provide specific car audio advice, but I recommend consulting with a professional installer or looking for forums dedicated to car audio systems.

Knock it off Hal... go check your code. I think it is corrupted.

So basically you want a full system but to not touch the factory stereo?

Get a DSP with Bluetooth. Then you will have all the correct outputs you need and you can stream into the DSP from your phone or other BT device.

I'm also on a limited budget and I don't plan on having the car for any more than a year plus I don't have the capacity to tune a DSP. Not laptop or computer and my phone barely makes it by lol. I mostly just need help understanding how to calculate wire gauge and what distro blocks I'll need. I know a fused block for sure. Originally I was going to add an old *** concord c2050 which takes like a 14 or 16 g power and ground. Then I realized it would be smarter and probably easier to just get a new amp and new speakers.
