Ok. Thanks.

Ok. Past all that already. Now. The Sony HU has 4 RCA outputs as I said. I split the front outputs to go to all 4 cabin speakers and now i'm using the rear RCA outputs to go to the sub. The Alpine Alpine KTP-445U has a couple dip switches to set. One is for 2 channel or 4 channel operation...

Also, currently I have a Crutchfield wiring harness on the Sony HU. The Alpine Amp is connected to the HU via RCA cables. The output wires from the amp goes to the speaker wires. Would that mean I wouldn't use the wiring harness that comes out of the back of the HU? Can I cut the stock Sony...

Would I just use the rear outputs for the sub? That can be controlled from the HU itself. Sub or rear speaker setting. Then split the signal from the front output RCA's for all 4 speakers? Although I would be losing any fader/balance control. Would it still sound just as good otherwise?

Hey everyone, I am a DIY'er, but have pretty basic knowledge when it comes to wiring amps or subs. Right now I have a Sony CDX-GT510 that I am wiring a sub to with a Cadence Amp. I also am going to wire up an Alpine KTP-445U 4 channel power amp, which is kind of a mini amp in a way, for the 4...

Looks good, and right in my price range. All the searching i have done on it syas it's more of an SQL sub. I'm looking for SQ. Also heard it likes more than a 1 cu ft sealed box. Would it still sound good in a 1 cu ft box?

UMWDog - I took you up on that Cadence amp. Looks brand new and is workin good. The Dual brand 10" bandpass box doesn't sound too bad but i think it is a little muffled. Kinda hard for me to tell as this is my first sub. Not much to compare it with. I'm going to build the 1 cu ft sealed box...

Hey everyone, my wife has an 05 Grand Am and i replaced all the stock stereo equipment a few years ago with decent but not top notch stuff. It has a Sony CDX-GT510 hu, Kenwood KFC-6960ie 6X9's in the rear deck and KFC-1080ie 4" door speakers. First thing i did was go over all the EQ settings...

I am fairly new at the amplified sub scene so i was hoping a few of you could help me figure out what would be my best choice. Right now i have an Alpine CDM-9801 hu, kinda low end, but it works. I have a couple sets of Polk Audio speakers installed in the doors and mids. I need a little bass...
