[QUOTE="txjeep, post: 8854204, member: 689578"] Always trying to solve my own problems, I have come this far but have a lot of questions: OPTION 1: 4 channel amp - Like Kicker KMA360.4 Connect 4 RCA outputs from head to amp inputs Connect 4 x front speakers to 2 channels speaker outputs Connect 2 x rear to 2 channels Connect 2 x RCA outputs from head to Kicker Amp for sub Questions: How can you tune this for the different levels of speakers or does that matter? Is there risk of sharing channels even on 4 x 5.25 speakers? How to wire these, Series or Parallel? OPTION 2: 6 channel amp - Like Kicker KMA600.6 Connect 4 RCA outputs from head to amp inputs Connect 2 x dash speakers to 2 amp channels speaker outputs Connect 2 x floor speakers to 2 amp channels speaker outputs Connect 2 x rear speakers to 2 amp channels speaker outputs Connect 2 x RCA outputs from head to Kicker Amp for sub Questions: I don't understand what the amp does with 4 channels of input vs 6 channels of output. Does this need to be handled in some special way? OPTION 3: DSP in front of 6 Channel Amp - This obviously costs more but maybe has a lot of benefit? Some DSP's are 6 channels in and 8 channels out. Would I run the RCA for the Sub through this and then on to 2 amps? Same question about input vs. output allocation. I just don't get how that works. OPTION 4: combined DSP Amp - Like JBL DSP4086 This seems too easy? Or does this solve the problem? Is this designed for a different set of inputs than the head unit? [/QUOTE]
