With your already bought stuff i would not get a 4 channel amp.. the 6.5s wont need it and the 6 x 9s(im assuming are for the back) wont need it. If you amp just the rears its not going to sound right

Its upgrading you altanator to battery cable and your battery grounds.. it lets more current flow to the battery

OP look at some of this stuff. Its a whole system and at about the same price point your at now.. And your rear deck isnt 6x9s

Alpine CDA-105 CD receiver at Crutchfield Signature

You don’t really need rear speakers but if you want them just save a bit for stuff that matters and get these

Amazon.com: Morel Maximo 6C 6.5-Inch Coaxial Speakers: Electronics

This is a 4 channel amp that plugs right into the back of any 2008 and up alpine deck

I used to have a similar set up. I had a different deck but it was close,, sounded good but I wanted louder. If you want more then this its going to cost you

You need to make your own box or get somebody on this forum to build you one

Hey as much as I appreciate the advice im suprised your saying its not going to work I already have the deck and speakers installed and it sounds pretty darn good to me why do you say it wont work do I need a two way amp instead for the speakers and a less powerful sub etc can you or someone else elaborate I greatly appreciate it

Your sub amp only puts out 600RMS at 2 ohms... your sub NEED 2000RMS at 1OHM... YOUR amp cant do 1OHM

the front speaker the 6.5s can only take 35RMS the rear speakers which are the wrong size for your car(according to crutchfeild) can take 80RMS(i think)

The 4 channel amp is way to much for the front speakers. and just right for the wrong size rear speakers!

To power those subs you would need a 2000RMS amp, that 2000RMS amp would require 2 or 3 batterys and maybe a high output altarnator.

If you have any questions ask

Well the front car speakers weren't the correct size it was supposed to be 6.8 but the backs fit 6.9 also checked cruth field said it would work what do you think of my new choices up top will that work

sorry to flame ya here, but first off lets work on some sentence structure. Then, as haze wisely instructed you should switch plans on the stuff you havent ordered yet. If you have the other stuff in and it sounds good to you then just leave it. Get us a budget on your sub/box/amp combo and let us give you some better options before ordering the other stuff.

Ok, you are getting closer!

I hope you dont plan on putting the 2 channel amp on your front speakers, they are already where they need to be power wise

DO NOT amp the rear speakers.. THEY WILL be louder then the fronts and it will sound horrible. It needs to sound like the music is in front of you. Most people dont even run rear speakers.

Pearsonally I would never buy those subs and I had one of those amps(its not good), if you drop the 2 channel amp CAUSE you dont need it. I can find you a better mono block and subs..

Are you going to build the box?

If you drop the amps you can run this set up. 1 Alpine 500RMS amp( I had this one, it was the upgrade from that pioneer) and 2 JL W0v2 12s

This was the set up I just came from. It was really nice for what it cost. If I didnt want to dump some big money into my system I would still have it
