Amp wiring suggestions......

[nbesaw2@new.rr. 10+ year member]

I am going to be installing my system in a couple of weeks and want to get things figured out ahead of time. This will be my first full install but I have wired up single amp configurations for friends. First off I know the amps are not the greatest but I have them and I don't have the cash to replace them...yet. This is all going into a 2007 Dodge Ram quad cab.

Here's my set up:

Kenwood DDX6019 HU

Pioneer TS-A6982R's fronts: 4 way 6x9's 80 rms 440 max

Pioneer TS-G671M rear's: 4 way 6.5's 50 rms 260 max

(2) JL audio 12w3's dual 4 vc: 350 rms 500 max

(2) Crunch Drive Series V200SE's(specs are probably overrated, but I can't check them

100x2@4ohms

175x2@2ohms

350x1@4ohms

700x1@2ohms

Almani CA-1400(also probably overrated)(and yes it says 1ohm stable)(got it free)

75x4@4ohms

125x4@2ohms

250x2@2ohms

500x2@1ohm

I put together a wiring diagram with each crunch pushing the JL's and the Almani pushing the doors but I am not sure if I should use the almani on the Subs and one Crunch for the rears and one for the front. I'm open to suggestions on how you guys feel would be best. I have 4 gauge wire now and am not sure if I will be bumping it up to 2 or 0 guage, couse then I have to get new dist. blocks and the wire, which I am already tapped out because of the DDX-6019 purchase, and the wife is already pissed.

I would like to get the subs 350w rms but I'm having a brain fart on how to wire up a dual 4 ohm sub to 1 bridged amp and keeping it @ 4ohms.

Let me know if you guys would change anything and chime in on the couple of questions I have....heres the link to the wiring diagram.

I'm pretty sure you're gonna want 1/0awg going to the distro block. Don't let the wiring be the weak point w/ all that gear.

Re. connecting a 4ohm DVC sub to a 2-channel amp: either just hook up one channel of the amp to each VC; or wire the subs in series to create an 8ohm load, and then bridge the amp. Either way, each channel of the amp will see a 4ohm load.
