Center channel speaker amp and sound processor

[donmcgowen]

Hi, I have a 2015 Mustang with 9 speaker sound system. I am installing a 10.5" Android Tesla head unit. It only has sub preouts. I currently have 2x10" subs using an LOC.

Here is my question. I have a Hifonics 2400.1 mono amp, and a Hifonics 70x4 rms amp for the interior. The car has a center channel speaker which I would like to utilize like a center channel speaker in a home audio.

What is the best way to amplify and equalize the center channel so that the center channel is the primary sound source. I was looking at the jbl ms-8 but I would need it used since it is disconnected.

Does anyone have suggestions and what i would need. First, I need to wire an amp into the system without RCA outs. I was thinking LCI7 or LCI8 for that, then using the jbl ms-8 for center channel.

I am not very knowledgeable about sound processors and high end sound systems. My experience is installing head units and amplifiers. If I am missing something, or going about this the wrong way, I would like to know.

If you had this car with 9 speaker system with center channel without amp preouts, how would you go about building this system. I am not trying to spend $5k. I would like to utilize my existing mono and 4 channel amps if possible, I just need a good LOC and Sound Processor for center channel. If I need to upgrade the 4 channel amp to something better or a 5 channel, I would consider that.

Thanks in advance.
