Sundown Audio Help

[xXxKUMQUATxXx]

Hello All, I needed some help/advice on my soon to be system.

I am going to have 4 Sundown Audio X-10 D2's powered by a Sundown Audio SAZ-5000D Monoblock Amplfier. I am going to be wiring them like this. I am going to have a custom ported box built for under the rear seats of my 2007 Chevy Silverado.

For door speakers I'm going to have Sundown Audio SA-6.5 Component Speakers.

Now for the questions.

For the amp, what gauge wiring kit will I need?

Will I need a capacitor and/or separate battery for this system? (I plan on purchasing a HO alternator and optoma yellow top deep cycle battery)

For the component speakers, can I have two sets? (all 4 doors have midranges and 2 tweeters up front and 2 in the back)

Do the crossovers serve as an amp as well? (I know, dumb question)

That's all I have to ask (as of now).

Thanks in advance for the responses

I'm not even sure where to start with this one...

Wiring: That amp takes 1/0ga wire and has dual inputs. You will need some SERIOUS electrical to run that kind of power. A very powerful HO alt (300+ amps), quite a few batteries, Big 3 done in 2/0ga or 2 runs of 1/0ga, and multiple runs (at least 2 each) of 1/0ga wire of both positive and ground.

Batteries: You will need quite a few of them, caps are useless unless you're using a bank of supercapacitors.

Speakers: Yes, you can. Throw em on an amp, too. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Crossover: No.

sundown x-10's under the seats? is that smart?

also may i suggest starting with a little bit smaller system. planning on running 5000 watts and asking if a crossover is an amp in the same post just doesn't make sense to me.

Not to forget the dreaded capacitor

May look at 2 SD-2 10's under the seat on SAZ-1200 or 1500 may seem like a better starting point. I don't think 4 x's would fit under the seat in place of seat yes but not under

Thank you, very, very helpful!

Thank you, very, very helpful!

But seriously, if you can't answer those questions, you shouldn't be installing that much power. I doubt you could get a box under the back seat of a truck big enough for (4) 8's.

Believe me, I've done research, 4 10"'s will fit
