[QUOTE="barry_mann, post: 4579125, member: 593636"] I am going to be installing my own system in my 2008 altima. i have boght everything but the sub box and wiring. I will be using the stock radio and i have a few questions. 1) can i have some out puts of the amp 2 ohm and some 4 ohm? 2) How do i make the sub 2 ohm with a single sub port 3) Is is ok to have more rms watts coming from the amp then the speaker is rated 4) do i need a compacitor 5) do i need the rca converters. from what i read it looks as if i can just wire rca cable directly to the factory stereo wiring. 6) what type of enclosure do i need. ( ported band pass sealed) and what size. I want to save as much trunk space as possible 7) what size speaker wires do i need 8) where is a good plce to mount the amp. i was thinking under the pasaaenger seat. 9) where can i get the color codes of the factory harness or where can i buy a reverse harness that is labeled 10) How would you wire this for the best sound.? Here is what i have purchased. For the front doors [URL="http://www.crutchfield.com/App/Product/Item/Main.aspx?g=52000&i=113KFC1682&search=Kenwood+VENDORID113&searchdisplay=Kenwood&tp=95"]http://www.crutchfield.com/App/Product/Item/Main.aspx?g=52000&i=113KFC1682&search=Kenwood+VENDORID113&searchdisplay=Kenwood&tp=95[/URL] For the back dash [URL="http://www.crutchfield.com/App/Product/Item/Main.aspx?g=52300&i=113KFC698E&search=Kenwood+VENDORID113&searchdisplay=Kenwood&tp=91"]http://www.crutchfield.com/App/Product/Item/Main.aspx?g=52300&i=113KFC698E&search=Kenwood+VENDORID113&searchdisplay=Kenwood&tp=91[/URL] 1 - 12" sub [URL="http://www.crutchfield.com/App/Product/Item/Main.aspx?g=520&i=113W3011&search=Kenwood+VENDORID113&searchdisplay=Kenwood&tp=111"]http://www.crutchfield.com/App/Product/Item/Main.aspx?g=520&i=113W3011&search=Kenwood+VENDORID113&searchdisplay=Kenwood&tp=111[/URL] Amp Jackhammer 5 channel [URL="http://www.mtx.com/caraudio/products/amplifiers/JH805_amp.cfm"]http://www.mtx.com/caraudio/products/amplifiers/JH805_amp.cfm[/URL] [/QUOTE]
