even though I am a noob I love car audio and learning about it. I recently did my install with sound deadening etc and it was one of the most rewarding things I have done. In the process I got an amp off ebay (sony xplod 440ex) which was 4 channel and met my needs. However turned out that the...

Ok I did a little research. Seems that if I connect my amp in mono it drives 80 Watts per channel (@ 4 ohms). So considering that the minimum recommended rating is 4 ohm - if I connect my speakers in series (7 ohm each channel) would that give me roughly 40 watts per speaker? I have attached the...

One more thing I am curious about. What if I connect 2 speakers in series rather than parallel? i guess that would make the resistance on one channel ~ 7 ohm? what effect on sound does that have?

Thank you for explaining. And you are good. I am just a noob so need it broken down for me. I will check the install in parallel. But have to deaden rear doors before I do that. I am guessing do a good job wiring and installing and if in the end i am not happy i can just chuck out the amp and...

Thank you for your quick response. I am trying to run 4 speakers that is the problem. Would 2 in the front left and 2 in the rear left output work? I mentioned my speakers and amp above in thread. Would the amp be able to handle this? Does bridging mean just connecting them kind of in parallel...

Ok so here are some updates. Between life and going down the rabbit hole with this one I just managed to install front speakers amp etc. I deadened the front doors. Closed the holes in door to approximate closed box. Fabricated brackets for my speakers, gave them ccf cone to door etc etc...

I do have a roll of speaker wiring (12 or 14 gauge). Consensus is to not use that?

Thanks both of you for being so helpful and taking out the time. I did some research on my own to better educate myself but i feel the more I learned the more confusing it got lol. I do not have a sub so I think I will need the components to do the lifting for the low frequencies too. One thing...

Can you please explain more. I am a total noob so dont want to screw it up.

Thank you.

I cant figure out the JBL 600c diagrams. The diagrams are a little different from my speakers. Which inputs on the speaker are for the amp and which for the tweeter? It has 4 male terminals sticking out on the speaker.

Thank you so much. This helps for me to get started. I am sure I will run into a lot of unseen problems since its my first build. I will keep posting here for advice.

So here is my prob. I recently got my hand on two pairs of Jbl component systems. The JBL club 6500c and the JBL stage 6000c. I want to put these in my car (nissan versa note sv 2014) since my stock speakers are shot. I have a sony xplod 4 channel 50 watt rms (per channel) amp that I want to use...
