[QUOTE="starkfu, post: 3237669, member: 579412"] sure. Here is what I would do: assumptions: IVA-W200 HU and alpine MRA-F350 / mono subwoofer amp - X2 6.5 comp's - x2 10" subs - single din center channel speaker (or use a 3.5 or 4" speaker in the top of the dash) - alpine single din placement would be good in the pocket below the heater controls - up to you. If you don't use the center channel - then you are better off with the old school five channel or even a 4channel and sub amp setup. Anyway - amplifier outputs go directly to the crossover inputs which should all reside in the trunk. A typical setup would face both subs back, with the amps and crossovers all on the back of the sub box flushed in when the setas fold down. Then run 8 speaker wires from the crossovers to the eight speakers placed in the car (or 9 if you go the center channel route)(I would go the center channel route, nothing beats 5.1 dolby in your car while watching gladiator - or whatever). Doesn't get much simpler. If you use the theater amp - you run a fiber optic from the IVA to the amp along with an ainet cable, then an RCA from the theater amp to the sub amp (which will be right next to it), the sub amp will require a turn on lead from the head unit tho. Then run your power back - 4 gauge or larger - and ground everything using a proper 3/8" bolt and star washers. Wire up subs to the sub amp - and spend a few hours adjusting everything to your ear. SPEAKER PLACEMENT - for the rear deck - I would pull it out and mount some MDF baffles to it angling the speakers about 30 degrees to the front center of the car - wrap it up and fiberglass it, then either carpet or paint it - mount the tweeters just above or below the woofer on the same angle to keep phase in check. for the front doors, angle them up or mount them to the front of the door panel and properly glass and seal it - if behind the panel, you will muffle the sound a little bit - mount the tweeter no more then 1 foot above the woofer on the door panel. It is easy to say all this, but doing it is another thing. This is also how I would do it all. More then likely you will just cut the hole in the rear deck and mount (just make it all congruent from left to right). For the doors tho, you definately want to get the tweeter out from behind the door panel and cut into the panel to mount it. (comes with some good mounting hardware) any specific questions I am not answering? [/QUOTE]
