1ohm I doubt the Brutus is stable lower than 1ohm

What kind a vehicle are you getting an install in? Most likely you could eliminate rear fill to cut down on cost especially with that high of quality front setup, and you running a sub rear fill in a car is really not necessary IMO.

Im guessing since it a basic shop install it 8 gauge wiring. Im like 99.99% sure the deck has nothing to do with it lol.. My guess would be the gain is not set right and the amp is temporarily going into protect mode.

I have a AVH-p4400bh and I get that error sometimes with my IPod I had to reset my ipod then it worked fine maybe your phone just needs to be reset?

Why not just stick with Pioneer and grab the AVH-x5500BHS it retails right around the $500 mark you can find it on amazon for under $350

OP never said anything on a price range he has a 15" sub so he looking to get loud and I have heard the kicker setup 1st hand and it gets real loud

For one that Sony stuff is grossly overrated and Power Acoustic is even worse than Sony stuff. You might also want to get a 0 gauge wiring run going that might give some more power handling maybe. A 15" setup I would go with is get a kicker zx 1500.1 with a 15inch kicker L7 in a ported box now...

I have a pioneer and I picked up this cable off amazon usb and 3.5mm plugs into the deck and the other side ipod connect cable Amazon.com: KHOMO : Black AUX 3.5mm and USB to Apple iPod/iPhone Dock Connector for Car, speakers, audio. 6ft Super Long (twice the length): Electronics Much cheaper...

Answer to all your question is NO!!! First off save your money and get a better quality brand than Pyle, Jenson etc. I would stick with Pioneer, Alpine, Kenwood,Clarion, JVC for headunits especially for touchscreens. AV outs are for your video accessories such as headrest/flip down monitors...

I would just focus on making the front solid nice component set and nice amp, and don't have anything in the rear you have a sub already rear speakers wouldn't be missed at all

You are not going to be happy without the amp. If I were you I would get a 4ch. amp get a set of coaxials like some type r alpines or something. Amp can be stealthly installed in your trunk or under the seat and get a sound that actually sounds like an upgrade.

I figured that also but I was future proofing in case when I upgrade but I may just run the 12 gauge to the crossovers then 16 from the crossovers to the speakers

Yea I was thinking that also as the last resort but that may be the way

Best buy or something may have some kinda special on something

I am about to hook up some JL C2 650 components and I going to do 12 gauge wiring through the doors directly to the speaker but the terminal for the negative connection is real tiny what type of connection would I need for that side
