You have 3 sets.. Front.. Rear.. and Sub. You will only be using Front and Sub , unless you decide to amp the rear speakers for the passengers.? Do like 25-watts rms to those. You will or should have enough Speaker wire left, and I chose the 4 ch RCAs for future use on 4 ch as the amp kit has one set that can be used for sub amp

You stated at the beginning that you have this HU so it should not be an issue. You are not doing anything with the Steering controls. It stay the same.

Yes that's what I have. I'm not sure why they have those on there or what they do. I think I'll amp the rear speakers as well. Which app do you recommend for those id like to keep the 2 amps the same brand. Unless there's a big price difference will 0 guage power connect to a smaller amp?

I can vouch for both 4 ch amps.. I can only vouch for the 700,1k,and 2k and 4ch CT Sound amps. I have not used any Avatar Mono amps yet. The 0 ga is the MAIN supply wiring from the battery to the Fused Distribution block to reduce to the 4 ga to amps

What wattage would you recommend for the 4 speakers?

80-150.. You can tune,. Head room is always great to have on tap

The CTSounds 80.4 or that Avatar 90.4 will do just fine. If you see an amplifier you like for a 4 ch up to 150x4 @ 4 ohms will be great. NVX make some decent budget amps too

Is that 150 max or rms?

RMS .. Never look at MAX #s

 

[Chris04626]

Also what is the benefit of taking the 4 ohm subs and taking them down to the 1ohm?

You can get more power from your smp at 1ohm (providing its stable at 1ohm)

On these https://www.audiosavings.com/2-amer...shallow-slim-car-subwoofers-4-ohm-subs-es1044

It says 1000 watts in the title. In the details it says 500 RMS/ 1000 watts. Then in the description it says can handle 1500 max. So what is the rms and max
of these?

 

[spokey9 5,000+ posts]

500w

 

[Firewalker]

RMS is what matters ignore the max ratings. As Spokey & Audiobaun said 500 watts rms.

Ok do if I rewire my door speakers to amp will this affect like hands free calling and stuff?
