[QUOTE="hectormas40, post: 5836527, member: 609438"] Hi all, Here's my plan.. I am purchasing all my equipment but having a shop do the instal/wiring (trying to save some serious $$, my last system cost $4,000). Here's the system going into an '08 Dodge Charger: 2 6x9's in the front doors factory slots (a sound shop recommeded this over a 6.5" component system separates) with a 1" tweeter in the dash. 2 6x9's in the rear deck, and 2 10" subs in a bandpass enclosure in the trunk. I will be making the amp rack which will utilize the spare tire area, it will be a false floor w/ both the amps (1 4channel & the other amp a 2 channel) staggered over each other, 2 fans, and a blue neon accent tube, all visible through a plexi-glass oval cut into the trunk flooring. 1st off, what do you think of 6x9's in the front doors? I liked the idea of component separates based on my last system, but he says it will sound good (the 6x9's) and add some bass up front. 2nd: What gauge speaker wire should I use? The amps are rated as follows- Lanzar VCT4120 4 channel 1100Watt amp @275 watts x4, or 550 watts x 2. The sub amp is a Lanzar VCT2100 950 Watt 2 channel. 3rd: Coming from the battery, should I go w/a distribution block to both amps, and a 2 amp wiring kit (fused)? What i'm getting at is saving $$ without being sold a bunch of xtra items I really don't need. I'm going for good sound, not thumping , hear me from 2 blocks away obnoxious noise.
