correction: 2 channels for 8 inputs (2 speakers)

how do i wire (with one channel) a component speaker? i just bought a type s 6.5'' speaker, and i realized it has 4 inputs (2 for tweeters, 2 for woofers), but i only have 2 channels left in my amp for em. how do i wire this?

generally a capacitor is sized accordingly: 1000wrms= 1 farad, 2000wrms = 2 farad etc it is possible your 6 farad wont hurt anything, HOWEVER, if you do the big three, which i recommend, and you have your cap, and your lights still dim, you need to upgrade something...start with the battery...

hm. you may not even need to buy an antenna adaptor, not sure, check to see if you can fit it as is. as far as your inline fuses, the amps should have external fuses, add them up, and get that size or a little bigger to put 12 inches from the battery on your power cord. should be around 100-120...

thats a good idea, was thinking bout doing that, cause there is a spot to put the tweeters up front.

ill have to look into doing that. thanks. where would i put the tweeters for the type s'? the rear doors dont have a spot for a tweeter.

oh. ok. well my back seat needs some highs help. was thinking tweeters, but im not a fan of them. plus thats why i bought a six channel amp. was thinking the type s's, dont want to break my wallet. if i bridge 2 channels on my amp it would make 200wrms. thats a little much i think for speakers...

hey all, i have 6.5 type r's in my front doors, and 5.25 audiopipes in my rear doors, i have a six channel amp, and i already have 2 12in type rs for subs. so i need to fill my last two channels with speakers. just wondering: what are the main differences between coaxials and components? is...

yea youll need to jump it no doubt, but to add to what people are saying on here, if your battery was drained enough then there is a chance it wont hold a charge well. in other words, if you make a bunch of short trips (store, gas station, etc) in a row, your battery will die. recommend a new...

yea man, when you upgrade your amp your def going to blow your stock speakers because most stock speakers can handle ~25 Watts RMS, and most 4 channel amps are above 40 W RMS. Watts RMS is the continuous power your amp will dish out. this is the most important thing to look at when you buy an...

so throwing another battery in the back wont "crush" my alternator as stated in one comment above?

id rather not upgrade my alternator because of all the horror stories i hear from people lol, anyways where is a good place to find a good one?

hey guys, im wondering, have you ever heard of anyone having 3 or more amps off a stock alternator? heres what i have: -big three, in 4 AWG -kicker 850.2 (im running it at 425 RMS X 2) (3 40 amp fuses) -JL Audio 75.6 (75 RMS X 6) (one 60 amp fuse) -75 AMP Stock Alternator -2 capacitors...

wait. after reading that again, i see that you have a battery goin on in the back. you def will need an ho alternator. perhaps a smaller kenetic may help out because your stock alternator/battery may be having trouble keeping your backend battery charged.

hm. your right on the border of needing an upgraded alternator. i know people hate capacitors, as do i, but do you have any installed? a lot of people have issues with ho alternators. be careful of where you buy it... ohio generators makes good ho alternators...you get what you pay for.
