is it safe to do considering the amp and components i have?

Hi Guys Car audio newbie here. I have a Focal Solid 4 Amp and a Focal 165 VRS component speaker set. I would like to know whether you would recommend bridging the speakers? I have no rear speakers, except a sub, which has its own dedicated monoblock amp Here is some info on what I have Amp...

Yes you are correct. Im a total novice, but I have managed to strip my car and wire everything myself so far and am basically in the final stages of the whole setup (Completed: Big 3, upgraded alternator, soundproofed doors and trunk, replaced speakers with component set, replaced headunit...

Gains are all the way down. Wouldent 2 ohms blow the sub tho?

Hi Im totally new to car audio Would just like some advice as to the best wiring setup for my sub. I have a AS12 MKII sub (B² audio - Sweet like Danish) and a Quota MKI mono amp (the older black ones). Is it best to wire it in series or parallel. In series I think i lose out on the power of...

Thanks for the replies guys. Appeciated. Judging on the replies, it seems the best way to go would be to upgrade to a HO alternator. Ghostowlgrid, the GM alternators you mentioned are not available where I live. I live in Malta (Europe), where GM trucks are not common. Also im not sure...

Im not sure what ohms law is, and my level of maths is probably not high enough to work it out I see what you're saying however for the car I have, I have the most powerful engine it comes with, so there is no other alternator option apart from buying an aftermarket HO one, thing is they are...

anyone?

Will the one alternator be enough to power 2x batteries?

Hi Sorry newbie here. I have a Focal Solid 4 400W amp and will soon be purchasing a B2 Audio 1100W amp. I have a Toyota Yaris which has a stock 80amp alternator. It has the same engine (1NZ-FE) as the Toyota Scion in the US. I have done the Big 3 upgrade using Knu wiring. I just need to know...

I mean the trunk as a whole measures 36 x 20.5 x 36 inches, im just wondering, based on that size, whether a SA-10 or 12 is the better choice.

Im new to car audio so not quite sure what you mean re:displacements, but my trunk measures 36 x 20.5 x 36 inches (92 x 52 x 92 cm) The car is very small. It was called a Toyota Echo in the US

seeing as how my trunk only allows for a 1.5 ft^3 enclosure, would you buy an SA-10 or 12. I was going for a ported enclosure

Thanks! Ill go for the 4 Ohm version then. Would it get enough power at 4 Ohms with the Cadence Z1200?
