[QUOTE="ctker, post: 8880410, member: 691947"] Thank you KeV, this is much appreciated! To answer your questions; 1. Yes rear door speakers are wired into the rear deck speakers, and the center dash speaker is wired to one of the 3.5s already in the front dash, Just for now, I only did this because i wanted to see if the head unit could handle it. And i plan on running these all on an amp ASAP. 2. I’m quite confident that I don’t have a OEM amp, my car came with the base Boston 6 speaker setup, 2 3.5s (front dash), 4 6x9s (front doors , rear deck) I must be confusing people, but I retrofit 3 more speakers into this 6 speaker system, I added 3 3.5s, 2 in the rear doors, along with 1 in the center of the dash(these are what I’m talking about it question 1) And for the sub I did install a nice 1000 watt 2 sub enclosure, running off a 1200 watt mono block amp. 3. Negative, there are 3 different head units that you can get in the 200, all depends on the package, mine came with a 5 inch mini display(this is called uconnect 5.0 head unit) but I purchased the bigger touchscreen from the top package a while ago(this one’s called uconnect 8.4) but after doing alot of research on amplifying my speakers I just went and picked up a nice aftermarket head unit, partially so I don’t complicate things more, but also mostly for the Apple CarPlay. I was not aware you could get an 8 channel amp for as low as $300, let alone with a DSP built in, this is absolutely amazing news! Thanks for letting me know, I will totally look into this. I could definitely post some pictures on here, I just don’t know what you want to see As for the budget, I’m really just trying to keep the amp somewhere around the $300 range right now (spent a lot of my budget on the speakers haha) I don’t mind a complicated install, there is nothing I can’t do. And if I mess up, I will learn and fix my mistakes. My only real question I have now, is what wattage should i be looking for with my speaker amp? My 3.5s are rated at 75watts, 150watt peak , and my 6x9s are 150watt, 300 peak Thanks Kev!! [/QUOTE]
