[QUOTE="ImmortalFreak, post: 6459116, member: 616415"] I'm purchasing the following equipment to go in my 2000 Ford Ranger (items will be purchased in this order): 1. Subwoofer -Image Dynamics ID10D2v3 - Purchased today, 11/4 2. Components - Image Dynamics CTX65CS - Purchased today, 11/4 3. Amplifier - ARC Audio FD 600.1 4. Amplifier - ARC Audio FD 2200 5. Subwoofer - Image Dynamics ID10D2v3 Okay, I bought the first sub and the component set today. When they come I will be running them with my shitty [URL="http://www.zeditionamps.com/z-edition-z400.4.htm"]Z-Edition 400.4 amplifier[/URL] (but only for a couple of weeks). I will bridge 2 channels for the subwoofer, wiring the voice coils in a series at 4 Ohms. The components will then each have their own channel, obviously. It will be wired like [URL="http://www.the12volt.com/12voltimages/1_2ohm_dvc_4ohm.gif"]this[/URL]. Anyway, I plan to go ahead and buy the wiring for the rest of the equipment so everything is "plug 'n' play." What I was going to do was run some 2/0 AWG to a power distributor somewhere in the back of my truck (haven't decided yet). Then I will run two loose 4/0 AWG wires to the planned mounting positions of each amplifier (leaving some extra length to work with). From that point I will then run loose ?? AWG speaker wire to each subwoofer box position from the 600.1 mount-place. I will also as run ?? AWG wire from where the 2200 will be mounted to the front doors where the speakers are. [B]Again, I am not sure of the AWG as I couldn't find it in the manuals. [/B] Once I get the second subwoofer I will wire it like [URL="http://www.the12volt.com/12voltimages/2_2ohm_dvc_2ohm.gif"]this[/URL]. [B]I'm not to clear about this though. What am I doing here? Putting both wires in positive/negative terminals on the amp and then running them accordingly to the sub?[/B] As far as RCA's from the HU go, I will be recycling my old ones if possible. I think that about covers it, no? I'm gonna run out to my truck and snap a couple pictures and take a double look at everything. Thanks! [/QUOTE]
