[QUOTE="kai_, post: 2005802, member: 569644"] Hi, I'm planning on installing a full audio system for the first time ever and I've been reading around a lot and hopefully what I've read and understood from all the manuals is correct. Here is what I have purchased (or plan to purchase): Alpine 9855 Head unit Diamond Audio M661 2-way component system Diamond Audio M361i speakers DLS A5 Amplifier Diamond Subwoofer Knukonceptz 4 awg complete amplifier wiring kit 12 awg speaker wire Since the amp from what I understand will only power the fronts and the subwoofer, I think that the rears will have to be powered from the head unit directly? In any case, I am not too bothered about the rears as I'll not be sitting there too often! I aim to achieve sound quality rather than knock-your-socks off thumping bass power. Anyway, I decided to do a quick drawing of how I envisage the install to look like schematically. I apologize for the crappy diagram, but if you can spot any errors/improvements to it, it would be most appreciated. My greatest fear is that I'll end up blowing something up - this stuff isn't cheap! [IMG]http://img221.imageshack.us/img221/1800/caraudiowiringeq7.png[/IMG] Many thanks in advance. [/QUOTE]
