Hi guys, been a while since I did any car audio but my buddy ordered equipment (not sure how he picked out what he did but)
HU is JBL R3500
Amp is JL M700/5
Three sets of 6.5 M3 JL speakers and a prefab 10" sub box (hasn't told me the specs of this)
I was going to help him install and my 2 questions. Do I convince him to buy a new HU (he's really fighting me on this) or will a LOC work. My concern is using the 4 channels on the amp for his six speakers, running channels 1 and 2 to the fronts at 4ohm (75rms) and the back four on channels 3/4 at 2ohm (50rms per speaker) with also adding a LOC to get the sub output just doesn't sit right.
Even with doing that, would I use the LOC for the fronts and the one rca output for the rears? Fade and balance isn't a priority, just sound quality. Not sure if running the four speakers at 2 ohms off channels 3/4 should get the LOC.
Another option is running the fronts off the HU, and adding the loc for the rear 4 speakers to get the subwoofer rcas. I am just unsure of how to get this decent without swapping the head unit.
Looking for advice thank you
