So, 2 different answers Is it just budget, or does sound quality suffer using the 4 channel? Space is at a premium, so 2 amps is not a great option. I'm not looking for the sub to pound, just add the depth the 6.5's can't provide.

I need some help on a Jeep Wrangler. It has a blown 6.5" sub in the stock enclosure, 5.25's in the dash, and 6.5's in the sound bar. I want to have the pioneer run the fronts and and add a "small as possible" amp to run the sound bar and new pyle sub. I've been told just get a amp for sub, but...

Well, this is a really small convertible, so front/rear really doesn't exist. I ended up using both, sounds good, but your right, less control other than amp gain for higher levels. But at least I can hear now on the freeway!

I actually went ahead and wired up the the two 2" mids from the deck, and then used the front RCA's to power the 5.25's and it worked. I realize though the volume can't be controlled between the two other than the gain on the amp. Not bad though. Now I think I'll just use the rear out the deck...

I have a Pioneer DEH-8400BH, can I run speakers off the deck and amps with the RCA's? It has front/rear/sub/ RCA's.

Well, I was going to bridge 3-4 to a single 8" sub. And fronts are only a 2"mid/1"tweeter in the door. So I was thinking, those off the deck, then 5.25's full range with sub as the rear.

With an Alpine MRP-F300, it has both speaker inputs and RCA's, if I am connecting to a Pioneer DEH-P8400BH which is preferred? Is it possible to run both, as in fronts off deck, rear and sub off Amp?

uhh, yeah, call me mr obvious!

That easy? Ok, my next problem is the wiring diagram on the factory amp, I can't figure out which wires are in/outs, diagrams I find have color codes that don't match what i have. Most of them are for the HK systems, which were two amp set-ups.

I have a 97 Z3 with a 2"mid and 1" tweeter in the door, and 5.25 in the kick panel. These are all wired separately out the factory amp. I am replacing with Alpine amp and Phoenix Gold speakers and need to know how (if possible) I can combine 1" with 5.25 and use as 1 channel of the amp.
