Nooby needing help again.

Alright, I'm getting:
12" 4ohm sub
1600 watt monoblock amp
two door speakers
4 gauge wiring kit
4 Channel Amp

I'm running off of stock head unit for at least a month after all this is done. Is this all I need? I know someone told me the 4 channel amp had to have some feature to run off the stock head unit. But I forgot what that was. And the wiring kit comes with speaker wire, is that what connect to the 4 channel or do I have to buy a wiring kit for the speakers too? (I warned you about my noob questions.)

-Thanks once again

 

so ur gonna install all this first then later do the install again for a new head unit? thats crazy. u got fuse blocks and loc converter?

 

What are the fuse blocks and loc converter for?

 

to run off of stock headunit the amp must be able to receive balanced signals from the head unit. If it does all u need to do is split rca wire and connect it to your speaker wire. If not u must get an LOC converter that converts ur stock headunit signal to a normal RCA signal.

 

i think its retarded to even go the stock unit route if ur gonna upgrade anyway.

 

This is the amp for the subs. I'm still looking for one for speakers. But would this one need a LOC converter?

^u need to start googling car audio stuff and read up man. u seem to really not kno the basics. good luck with the install. ur in for one hell of a ride if u havent done this before lol

 

Wrathernaut......look him up. He has a few great audio threads.

 

I've done it before. But it was in a Mazda. Less complicated. 300 dollars just for the piece to adapt a double din. Insane. Thats why I have to go through the crazy route with no aftermarket deck.

 

From what I'm reading all I need is a LOC converter.

 

I have a few suggestions to help you as I did my install of a 4 channel amp and mono amp a while back:

1. You should get a 4 channel LOC, 2 channels (left and right) for the 4-channel amp and 2 channels(left and right again) for the mono amp.

2. The most power that the amp can push is when it operates at the lowest ohm (lowest resistance) that its rated at.

Rated Power: 1x 800 Watts RMS @ 2 ohm (1600W Peak Power)

This means that you should try to find a 2 ohm sub to make the most out of your amp. You said your sub was 4 ohms but is it dual voice coil or single voice coil? You can wire subs in series or parallel, giving you two different ways to get different resistance/impedance for the sub.

3. A fuse block is needed because you're going to want to route only one power wire from battery to the trunk, then the fuse distributor block converts the one power to several, which in your case, is two. One for the mono amp, one for the 4-channel.

Btw, make sure to get sufficient gauge wire for the power and ground. I have a 0 ga. power wire from batt to distro block, a 2 ga. to my 1000w mono, and 4 ga. to my 300w 4-channel.

Good luck and pm me if you have any questions.

 

That just helped a ton. Thanks a lot.

 

uve installed an amp without installing a fuse block before? btw ur 4 channel amp may have rca outputs that u can just plug directly into the sub amps input ports so u wouldnt need loc of the sub amp. most 4 channel amps have an extra output port

 

So I'd connect both the mono and 4 channel amps together via RCA plugs and skip the LOC converter? Cool. The 4 channel i'm looking at has RCA outputs, so I guess I don't need the LOC. Thanks. So now I got everything I need but my sub. Imma use my old Fosgate P2 until Christmas, brother supposed to get me a SA-12. And yea, I had a fuse block.

 

u still need the loc for the 4 channel amp . jus dont need it for the sub like magic5c mentioned
