Can I do this?

I have a Kicker KX650.4 and want to know if this will work...

Run the front components off 2 channels, then bridge the other two channels to run a sub?

you should be able to. just make sure you set it up right on the head unit and on the amp and you will be fine

tri way capable so you should be able too

the sub has to be 4 ohms tho and 325 watts isn't that much for a sub - its better than nothing but in the long run youll probaly want more..

dont see why not. as long as there is enough power to run the sub.

325 watts not enough for the JL 10W3?

i said "a sub' //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

it should match the JL 10W3 perfectly

but im still agreeing with my original statement and wouldnt be surprised if you end up throwing in another sub one day...

So should I buy the Jl 250/1 amp from him? Seems to do the job for that sub.

man, you will be fine with what you're planning on doing. Heck you could run 2 comp sets and 2 subs off that amp if you wanted. AS long as you keep the stereo channels at or above 2ohm and sub channels at or above 4ohm the setup will work no problems. Just be sure not to screw up the RCA inputs

will work no problems.

Except a total loss of any staging with more than one set of component speakers.

I'll probably never do staging in this vehicle. Old 1997 Tahoe 4x4, not ever going to be my "nice" vehicle. Not sure if this amp has two sets of RCA inputs, but wouldn't it need to in order to run comps and sub? I mean, I don't want to run the sub off a "full" input do I?

sadly no one really cares about proper staging and time alignment of speakers. Its all about making it loud...

Well for me, loud is a by-product. I want it to sound good well above the desire to be loud. I don't need to show off or advertise my shit. I'm not going to do the best possible system in this truck, just something nice.

My alpine HU has "Time Correction". Is this the same as time alignment with the Pioneer HUs?

Yes.

The only difference is that on Alpine you enter it as a millisecond delay while on Pioneers you actually enter the physical distance.
