Yes, cd's are recorded in stereo, that's left and right. not left, right, left rear, right rear. Now I'm not saying there are no albums recorded in "quadraphonic" sound but 99.9% are not.

Are you having problems w/ dimming or not? Is your system even installed yet? Call some local mechanic shops and see if they know someone who will rewind your alt. Prob be cheaper than a new one.

You can get some Y adaptors for your rca's so they are going to both rca inputs on the amp, that will make it louder. What's your gain at now?

For the turn on (remote) lead just run a small wire from the batt. pos.+ to the turn on terminal of your amp. Thats all the remote lead is, a 12V signal.

Well if you're going to power them with your head unit then you're gonna want to look at speakers that don't need a lot of power to sound good. Don't know the specs of any of the speakers you listed but don't go and buy top of the line components that need 50-100 watts rms when your deck prob...

Are you sure you know where all the fuses are? Take out your owners manual and see where the radio fuse is.

Yeah the rca outputs are so you can daisey-chain amps together, so you dont need to use Y-adaptors or run new rca cables. If the next amp in the "chain" is for subs then mono is fine, if not it needs to be stereo.

Well I'd deff. look at trying to get a signal from the sub in the rear deck. If you dont wanna pull back trim or anything all other solutions are gonna probably be pretty ghetto.

As long as there's an inch or two clearance above it'll be fine.

To answer your first question, no there won't be any audable difference between wiring the sub to 1 or 4 ohm. Secondly I wouldn't want to send the sub the full 1600 W if it's in a ported application, so just be careful with the gain on your amp, don't be a volume master;)

Well that *****, from what I've heard the zeb has real good customer service, they prob. would of called back. I guess some places are so busy the don't seem to really give a **** about their patrons, shame:(

The best idea is to only order from sites that have a phone # listed on the page, call em up first and make sure what you want is in stock and place your order. I've had good experiences with both Ikesound and etronics, but I followed my rule above.

Yeah, it'll be ok. I mean if your lights are dimming then don't wait too long to do something about it. At least you won't be running the AC this time of year.

If your alt. is having problems you'll know it. No it's not gonna just shlt the bed without any warning. Well not likely anyway;)

You shouldn't run subs with different impedance coils, get all 2 or all 4.
