[marquisbrah 10+ year member]

theres a similar thread out there, but i didnt want to thread jack lol. i have a couple of 1000w amps lying around. i thought that maybe i could use one to wire my door speakers no? im just curious as far as the power goes. obviously i dont want all the power, but i want to know if its possible? also, my HU has 3 RCA outputs. The SW,R,and F. whats with that? i know the SW is for the subwoofer, and the R for rear and F for front, but would wiring RCAs to the "F" be all i need ? yes? no? thanks for the input

If you have to ask, I would say it is a bad idea. Sell the amps and invest in something else.

How so? Oh by the way, its only 1 amp. But i will say that it was previously wired to subs. I hear people always do this, but i dont know what kind they use

Are you talking about wiring all four door speakers to your monoblock subwoofer amp?

possibly. Unless its not reccommended

Yeah that's no problem. Just wire all the speakers to the single output of the amp and turn the gain all the way up...make sure to take a video of the first time you power it up //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

It's pronounced ruh-tard, not retard.

And I will go on the limb of life and say I (& 99% of us) probably started this hobby with little info/knowledge and noobed ourselves in the beginning.

Everyone has to start somewhere. The difference comes from those of us that are willing to research and learn before attempting to put together a system and those that just walk into Best Buy and get the first shiny sub that catches their eye.
