[QUOTE="adamwsmith1980, post: 8355364, member: 664614"] Hey guys. Got all my gear now i have a couple questions. 1. To wire my 4 ohm speakers, i just connect the positive on the speaker to the positive on the amp and the same with the negative and do that for each of the 4 channels correct? 2. The sub i got is the Infinity 100.9 and it has the ability to select 2 or 4ohm. If i wanted to run it at 2 ohm, how would i wire it? The sub is rated at 375RMS, and my amp is rated 440 at 2 ohm, and 270 at 4 ohm. Would you recommend 2 or 4ohm? If i run at 2ohm i obviously need to turn the gains down. 3. My amp is the precision power 900.5. It has a switch to run ST (Stereo) or 4ch. The manual states: "ST allows the front, rear, and subwoofer channels to receive signal from only the front RCA inputs and 4CH allows for independant front and rear RCA inputs and the subwoofer signal is taken from the rear channel input." I am assuming ST will limit my ability to fade front and rear? I have 3 sets of RCA's so i have no problem just running for front, rear and sub, just wasn't sure exactly the difference. 4. I am holding off on the head unit for a month or so and am going to put in a Line Out Converter by taping into the speaker wire at the back of the deck. The line converter i bought has one set of RCA's for a sub. My guess is by using this i will only be able to add a sub to my current system but not power my new speakers from the amp? I would need a line output converter that has front, back, and sub RCA outputs right? 5. My amp manual shows a big drop in output if im only running 12.0V vs 14.4V. This is the power coming from the battery correct? Is the best way to test that by going to the auto part store and having them throw a volt meter on it? I think thats it!! Looking forward to getting all this set up! [/QUOTE]
