I know this site is for cars, but I need help with boat install.
This will be my first time wiring a sound system ever......(I did my home entertainment system and that was easy)
but after reading about bridging, ohms, etc...I'm not as confident as I thought.
Here are the items I bought.
JL Audio M700/5 (amp)
Specs:
75 watts RMS x 4 at 4 ohms + 180 watts RMS at 4 ohms
100 watts RMS x 4 at 2 ohms + 300 watts RMS x 1 at 2 ohms
200 watts RMS x 2 bridged at 4 ohms + 300 watts RMS x 1 at 2 ohms
2 (JL Audio M8IB5-SG-WH) subs
Specs:
200 watts at 4 ohms
4 (JL Audio MX650-CCX-SG-WH) speakers
Specs:
60 watts at 4 ohms
Alpine CDE SXM145 BT (Head unit)
Specs:
2 Pre-amp outputs
Based on my wiring schematic am I pointed in the right direction?
I'm guessing I have to use RCA Y splitters from the top row of outputs on the head unit to amp for Channels 1 through 4 based on the Alpine manual. The subs will get a standard RCA cable utilizing the bottom 2 outputs on the head unit.
