Hey team,

I am new here and not sure if this is even the right thread so I apologise if not. I am looking at installing a full audio system (fronts, rears and subs) in a 1996 Honda Civic EK3 Hatchback. The most experience I have is doing two sub woofers and two 6x9's which is all run off the head unit with no amps (except for the subs). For this setup, I would like to do 6.5" fronts, 6x9 inch rears and x2 12 inch subwoofers. The subs and speakers are all going to be pioneer, however I am unsure about how the wiring works for having two amplifiers. Do I need a head unit with more than 1 set of pre outs or can I just use splitters? Do I need distro blocks for the amplifiers power and ground? Any diagrams or links that show images would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!
P.S I would like to run the subs off a monoblock amplifier and the speakers off an A/B class 4 channel amp to get the best sound quality possible :D

You will need distribution blocks for the amps I would run 0 gauge to the blocks and 4 gauge to the amps. For the head unit I would us one that has the 6 pre outs for the rcas to many splitters start to susceptible to distortion and whining.

Okay. Thank you so much! I will run individual power / ground wires to each amp. If the front of the car has no dedicated spot for tweeters, what...

time alignment is not the same as volume. Time alignment is usually only needed when you have an amp or multiple amps, and one has a delay. I...

Looks like it's wire it either 4 or 8 ohm 🤔
