Hi guys. Recently upgraded some car audio for my Z-28, and I need to get under there and rewire a bunch of stuff, so I want to install this properly with shrink wrap, etc. I have little knowledge of car audio beyond basic sppeakers and amps and never installed a sub before.
List of gear:
Head Unit:
SOny Xplod CDX-GT550UI
Amplifiers:
Rockford Fosgate P8004 - 4 Ch , Low & high pass filters
Legacy LA220 - 2-ch bridgeable (2X75 or 1X150 W RMS). Low pass filter only
Speakers:
Sony Xplod 6X9 (2) -Rear
Kenwood 4" (2) -Front
Sub:
Alpine SWS 1243D 12" dual 4 ohm voice coil
Rockford Fosgate Manual: http://a248.e.akamai.net/pix.crutchfield.com/Manuals/575/575P4004.PDF
Sony Head Unit Install manual: http://www.docs.sony.com/release/CDXGT550UI_install_EN_ES.pdf
Alpine SWS-1243D specs: http://www.crutchfield.ca/alpine_type_s_sws_1243d_12_dual_4_ohm_component_s_p/500sws1243.htm
My first guess was to connect the RF amp with both pre-outs and power front & rears with it, then use the pass thru and use the Legacy in bridged mode to power the Sub, and the RF to power both front and rear speakers? The rear of the head unit has no 'dedicated' sub out, but rather a Rear/Sub Out, so I think you have to tell it in the setup, which mode to be in. (??).
What is the best way to wire everything together with what I have?
