Next Step For My Audio Setup: Interior speaker amp

[ArmyNavyCopGuy]

Ok, since my sub and amp quest has pretty much come to an end (link of thread and video at the bottom) It's time I move on to the next endeavor: Amp for interior speakers.

I have a pretty good deal lined up with the Alpine MRP-F300 for $150 installed. But I just want to know what I'm dealing with here. For those that don't know here's what I have going on so far:

Deck: Pioneer DVH-x6700bt

FS: Alpine Type S 6.5 with tweeters SPS-610c

RS: Alpine Type S 6x9 SPS-619

Amp: JBL GTO 1001EZ

Sub: SoundQubed HDS312 D4 @2ohms

All this on stock electrical. I'm currently waiting for some ring terminals to come in to do the big 3. So here are my questions.

1. Can I run 2 amps with just the big 3?

2. Running more wire, do I go 4awg again?

3. Can I get away with the existing speaker wire? Or do I need to run larger wire?

Current setup:

1. How big is your alt?

2.Yes

3.You can use the stock wiring.

4. That's a decent amp, the Alpine

if you are already running this on stock electrical, then the big three will defiantly be fine for you. Id used 12 ga speaker wire for them as well, used to have those speakers and loved um, but later got the type R's and a pair of polk. Are you looking for a new amp or is your next step just installing it?

Current setup:

So that amp is a sub amp, did you mean another model number? Btw do your lights still dim and did you get an AGM batt already?

1. See above, but I guess "we will see."

2. You can do another 4 awg, or your can just run 0 awg to a dist block, then 4 awg out.

3. Existing speaker wire should be fine.

Are you planning on getting different speakers in the future? I'm sure the type-S are not bad and probably get loud, but wonder if you're left wanting more. Even type-R doesn't fully do it for me.

Yes, fixed in OP. Alpine MRP-F300. I've done nothing to the electrical system yet, I'm still waiting for a shipment to do so. The speakers sound really great. Sharp and clear, but the sub just overpowers it. Trying to bring up the mids and highs.

Alt I think is 120?

Edit: Between 105 and 110.

I haven't bought anything yet, but I found the Alpine MRP-F300 locally for $150 installed which I think is pretty good.

Yeah, that's probably as good as it'll get. It's also class D, so it should be more efficient.
