alright. well, to start, i have a 06 LS. The parts i already have include:
- 2 Clarion SRW1043 10" subwoofers
- 2 Clarion SRR6935 6x9 rear speakers
this enclosure: https://www.cobaltss.net/forums/show...hlight=clarion
- 2 Alpine Type S 6-1/2"
- 1 PYLE 2000 watt 4 channel (bridgeable) amp
- 1 DUAL 4 channel x 50 watts (200w) Head unit.

now heres my issue. the amp has 2 inputs, and my head unit has 3 output pairs (fronts, rears, subs)
the amp is rated at 500w per channel (or 500+500+1000 when bridged)
the front speakers are rated 240w peak each
the rear speakers are rated 250w peak each
the two subs are rated at 500w peak each

this totals at nearly 2000w total. My question is how do i wire all of this up? Is it even possible with the amp i have since this amp only accepts 2 input pairs and i have 3 output pairs? or should i just power rear and subs and let the fronts be powered from the stock system? or should i buy another amp to power the 3rd pair? I'm completely new to car audio and need some help. No budget, but be reasonable. I'd rather not blow another $300 when i don't need to.

give me a pic of the amp, pic of the fuses. Both that amp and that HU doesnt produce that power RMS. im 99% sure on the amp but 100% sure on the hu. your only going to get ~14w rms from the HU.

You dont have to use all your outputs on the HU. you would only use the ones your amp would need (like front and sub or rear and sub) Your going to want to amp the fronts over the rear because they do most of the sound that you actually hear

i see. the HU peaks at 50 watts per channel, rms is 25, and the amp is likewise, peaking at 2000w.

i was figuring rears since they produce a wider frequency range of sound, and since they are already fairly quiet, this would make them more even with the fronts. (i currently run my setup now with a slight bias to the rear speakers)

what have you installed so far? only reall things the 6X9s have in advantage over the fron 6.5s are better lower responce. But with a sub its not really noticable (at the shop i would normally put on a HPF crossover if the system has a sub) but its really up to you on what you want to amp... FYI It would be physiclly easier to amp the rears installer wise

Never ever look at peak power. its a useless number and will in the end confuse everybody.

good to know. fronts and rears are both installed but are currently powered by stock system.

unfort i cant really find rms specs on that amp. its hard recommending what to do with it because 500w rms is way more then some door speakers can handle but pyle always overrates everything they have by a pretty big margin

just read the manual...RMS @ 2 ohms: 120w per channel, RMS @ 4 ohms:75w per channel, peak: 500w per channel

ok your fine with the door speakers. Amp either ones whatever you decide. Unfortanatly the subs are SVC 4ohm so you cant get max wattage out of the amp sub wise.... just hook each one to the 2nd 2 channels individually

so should i bridge the 4 channels to make 2 channels, and just power my subs? or will it be fine going unbridged and using all 4 channels on 4 diff speakers/subs?

EmperorJJ1

well the subs are 250w rms subs and 2 channels bridged puts out 240w at 4 ohm and really it would be best to do that. If not your going to end up only putting 75w rms to each sub

i see. alright, thanks for all the help man.

ya although the aftermarket HU should give u a bit more power then the stock
